 About

This program focuses on diversity of people and culture as it relates to United States’ and international agriculture. Importance is placed on living and working in a global, pluralistic society, and developing communicative approaches for solving technical and social problems. Costa Rica’s abundant variety of plants, animals, foods, agricultural practices, and cultural customs and traditions greatly facilitate the teaching and learning of cultural pluralism in agriculture. Explore Costa Rica with a nighttime rainforest hike, volcano Arenal visit, zip-line adventure, fishing for dinner, splashing under waterfalls, and swimming in geothermal hot springs. Experience black sand beaches and stay at a world-class resort. This program is open to all majors.
