One Chinese area studies course recommended. B grades in Chinese 102 or higher strongly recommended. Courses include intensive Spanish language, tropical biology and humans in the tropics. Biology courses are taught in English. Each student will conduct an independent field biology project for credit.
Participants live at the research station and with Costa Rican families.
Spanish language highly recommended. The seminar is taught by Ecuadorian faculty drawn from USFQ as well as other Universities in Quito. Students live in home stays with Ecuadorian families. Students are integrated into the normal curriculum and usually study under the tutorial system in which responsibility for learning is placed directly upon the individual. Students live in dormitories with resident British and international students.
