The Organization For Tropical Studies extends the opportunity for selected Biology Graduate Students to participate each spring or summer in an intensive, eight-week field introduction course in Costa Rica. This site is for the purpose of providing information and guidance. The Biology Graduate Student Resource Center is another excellent information site since it is maintained by our current graduate students. Your application will not be evaluated without these items. Admission to the ASU Graduate College does not mean a student is concurrently admitted to a degree program.
Departmental admission is necessary.
The Biology application is linked below. Generally, only admissions for Fall semester are considered. The deadline for Fall admission is December 15th. Notification of admission status is usually no later than April 15th. Top candidates are normally interviewed prior to admission to the program.
