Harper College is closed Friday, July 3, for Independence Day (Observed).
Discover one of the most biodiverse countries in the world while earning Harper credit! Join a cohort of students traveling to Costa Rica to explore rainforests, diverse ecosystems, and local communities as you investigate the connections between environmental conservation, public health, and sustainable development. Through hands-on experiences and guided reflection, you'll connect biology concepts to real-world global challenges while gaining the knowledge and intercultural skills that come from learning beyond the classroom.
This program is offered in conjunction with two Honors courses: Biology 103 and Biology 230. Students may enroll in either course or both, depending on their academic goals. Because this is an Honors study abroad program, participants must be current Honors students or be eligible and willing to join the Harper College Honors Program prior to departure.
