NEWS ABOUT THIS UNIQUE PROGRAM:

Read the Humboldt Now article: The Jungle as the Classroom: Professor Mary Glenn and HSU students will travel to Costa Rica this summer to study the behaviors of primates. “We saw some really unusual stuff this last year,” says Glenn.

Read the Humboldt Now article about student Rani Ram's experience: “We had incredible sightings, studying [primate] locations in the canopy, their behavior and vocalizations, their group composition and diet,” reports Rani.

Student Reid Jackson shares: "Studying in Costa Rica was by far one of the most influential events of my time at Humboldt State University. Not only was the journey wonderfully challenging and educational, but it was also incredibly fun! The friends I have made and the adventures we had will be warm thoughts that I’ll have for the rest of my life. I learned so much on this program and I am sincerely thankful that I was able to have this experience!"
