Tropical Biology, August 1 - 21.

This course in Tropical Biology is taught at the Camaquiri Conservation Initiative site in northeastern Costa Rica (https://www.camaquiri.com). Camaquiri’s unique ecosystem of lowland tropical forest will be your classroom. The studies you will conduct during the course will start you on the path to becoming a successful tropical biologist, as well as enabling you to add valuable contributions to ongoing studies that help inform our understanding of tropical ecosystems. The summer course in tropical biology is fast-paced and will engage you in some of the most critical issues facing tropical biodiversity and ecosystems today. During the three-weeks of the course, you will study at the Camaquiri Conservation Initiative site in northeastern Costa Rica, giving you access to lowland wet forests. Through lectures and conducting your own research project, you will become familiar with the natural history of this diverse site and engage in research under the mentorship of experienced tropical biology researchers. We will also have the opportunity to visit other habitat zones in Costa Rica, offering students a broad perspective on the diverse, tropical ecosystems that make Costa Rica so special.

Tuition: $2,400
Deadline: June 1, 2023.
