As with most programs like the one Tammy is on, the School for Field Studies offers students the chance to experience a part of a foreign culture that they never would otherwise have the chance to see. Specifically, the SFS's Sustainable Development Studies program in Costa Rica focuses on "working to develop sustainable management models that protect the biodiversity of the country's ecosystems while promoting socio-economic benefit for its people. Students may study such topics as organic agriculture and protected area management strategies, with the importance of conservation evident in the splendor of the surrounding cloud forests, rainforests, volcanoes and beaches. Researchers may wish to collaborate with our faculty on topics pertaining to tropical ecology, sustainable development and resource management" (www.fieldstudies.org).
