School for Field Studies - Costa Rica

Multiple Locations, Costa Rica

The School for Field Studies in Costa Rica focuses on land use practices and the Sustainable Development Studies. Although they are particularly suited to students interested in Biology and Environmental Studies, all SFS (School for Field Studies) programs offer ample resources and opportunities for students in all disciplines. 

Here students will engage in the study of different development and resource management models that includes extensive fieldwork, research projects and trips around the greater area. SFS gives Reed students an interdisciplinary approach to these topics, overlapping with questions about public policy, economic analysis of biological resource issues, and “Direct Research” projects where students carry out independent field work. For students of all disciplines, these programs are also an exceptional chance to explore field-based learning rooted in local communities and cultures.

Cost to attend:

好色导航 charges the same tuition fees for a semester or year off-campus as for a semester or year spent on campus, plus the program's actual room and board fees. 好色导航 encourages students to choose programs based on their academic rather than financial needs to reflect Reed's belief that all students, regardless of financial circumstances, should have the opportunity to study abroad.

Financial aid continues for eligible students during the off-campus program. Students should discuss with the Financial Aid Office how other outside aid may impact their existing aid package. Check out more details directly on the 好色导航 Financial Aid page.

Visa Deadlines and Requirements:

You will receive specific instructions about the necessary visa process from the SFS Admissions Department well in advance of your program. DO NOT apply for a visa prior to receiving these instructions.
