Strategy IV

Eco-Evo majors can gain hands on experience and take upper division electives while abroad in Costa Rica in spring semester (also available during fall semester)

For students interested in participating in a EAP program specific to Biological Sciences, check out the general and special focus Bio Sci programs recommended by UC faculty.

Faculty Recommendations are also available for Environmental Studies and Environmental Science, which may be of interest to majors specializing in ecology.

Example: Tropical Biology and Marine Preservation Program, Monteverde Institute, Costa Rica
