Costa Rica, Multiple
The Agroecosystems and Planetary Health in Costa Rica program is a field-based experience offered by the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) in partnership with IAP.
Spend two immersive weeks in Costa Rica exploring the connections between sustainable food production, nutrition, climate resilience, health and wellbeing. Through site visits to farms, research centers, cooperatives, botanical gardens, and protected conservation areas, students engage directly with diverse agricultural systems, including the cultivation of ornamental, medicinal and food crops for both local and global markets.
This course offers a unique opportunity to learn alongside farmers, naturalists, educators, community members, non-governmental organizations, and Indigenous communities, fostering students’ understanding of the interconnected social, economic, and environmental dimensions of food production in both Costa Rica and the United States.
Program activities and discussions provide a framework for critically examining key issues such as global health, food justice, sustainability, agricultural innovation, and climate change. In particular, students explore how global consumer demand for products such as coffee, cacao, bananas, and palm oil influences farmers, communities, economies, and ecosystems.
Designed for undergraduate students across disciplines, this program offers a multidisciplinary exploration of food systems as interconnected endeavor. Through experiential learning and structured reflection, students develop the skills to analyze and engage with complex challenges at the intersection of food systems and health in a global context.
This course fulfills the field experience requirement for the UW Undergraduate Certificate in Global Health.
Recognize social, economic, and environmental issues related to food production and find suitable methods to address them.
Compare diverse methods of crop production and how they relate to nutrition, health, sustainable agricultural practices, community development and global markets.
Develop a critical perspective and creative thinking regarding the production and consumption of agricultural crops, and how they can shape the livelihoods of small- and large-scale producers in different parts of the world.
Cultivate interdisciplinary skills, cultural awareness, and global competencies through the understanding of the ecological and socio-economic impacts of crop production and consumption in both Costa Rica and in the US.
Diversity & Inclusion

Sustainability
We recognize that the future of study abroad, domestic study away, and international internship programming requires a Commitment to Sustainability. We are devoted to examining, developing, and improving sustainability in all our endeavors, aligning with campus priorities and following through with UW-Madison's climate action and Resilience Commitment.

Cost of living varies widely by location. Be sure to consult a variety of resources when researching cost of living.
Housing
Participants will stay in a variety of housing while on the program and can include hotels, ecolodges, resorts, or research station.
We typically place students in rooms with others of the same sex. In some locations, this is necessary for legal or cultural reasons. We understand that not all students may identify as female or male, and we want to create a welcoming environment for you while you are abroad. We are happy to work with students who identify as transgender, genderqueer, gender non-conforming, and/or non-binary regarding life abroad. If you have questions or concerns regarding housing as it relates to your gender identity, please contact your Study Abroad Advisor.
Program Considerations
In a physical sense, the on-site experience may be very different from life on the UW campus. You may walk or take public transportation more than you are used to in Madison. The physical activity level will vary by program, but in general you should be prepared for extended periods of time walking, potentially on uneven terrain.
For many students, discovering and experiencing new foods is a part of the experience. It is important to consider any dietary restrictions, whether they are due to health conditions, religious beliefs, or individual needs, and look into whether you can get the foods you need locally.
How you identify yourself in Madison may differ from how people will view you on-site. Consider exploring our Identity Resources to reflect on how your identities may impact your experience. Students with disabilities should keep in mind that attitudes and laws related to disabilities vary by country, and these differences may impact the level of accommodation available in a particular location. More details are available on our page on Study Abroad for Students with Disabilities.
We encourage you to contact your Study Abroad Advisor and share your accommodation needs with us as early as possible. This will allow us to help you explore your options in advance.
Excursions and Activities
During this travel-based field study, students will engage in at least one excursion each day. Destinations will include farms and plantations producing crops like coffee, pineapple, and palm oil; educational interpretation centers for crops like cacao and medicinal plants; botanical gardens and herbaria; ornamental greenhouse operations; protected natural lands; and ecolodges. While course instruction is in English and Spanish language is not required for participation, students will have opportunities to practice Spanish throughout the study abroad experience.
On-Site Support
Dr. Claudia Irene Calderón is the UW-Madison program leader who travels with the group.
Orientation
We expect you to be an active participant in preparing yourself for your study abroad experience. As a participant on an approved program, you will receive a pre-departure orientation, either in-person or online. The type and format of this orientation will vary by program and will be provided to you upon acceptance to the program.
Visa
A visa is not required for U.S. citizens to enter Costa Rica for this program. U.S. citizens must have a U.S. passport valid for at least six months beyond the end of the program.
Non U.S. Passport holders may have different visa requirements. Please contact the Study Abroad Advisor for this program if you have any questions.
Getting to Your Program
Students will make their own travel arrangements, but the Program Leader will provide specific guidelines for the arrival route and time. You can choose to depart from whichever city is most convenient for you, but you are expected to meet as a group at the same layover airport in order to arrive on the same flight into San Jose, Costa Rica. The group will be picked up at the San Jose airport, and all in-country travel is arranged by program staff.
Insurance
You will be enrolled in the UW System required health insurance through Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI). The cost of the insurance coverage is included in program fees.
If you are a citizen of a country other than the United States and will remain/study in, or travel to your country of record (the location of your permanent residence), the insurance provided for you is the same as the “study away” insurance provided to U.S. citizens studying on domestic U.S. programs. You may want to explore alternative or additional international health and medical insurance that will cover your needs both while in and during any period of transit to/from your country of record. This may include participation in a national healthcare plan or coverage provided under a personal healthcare plan in your country of record. If you have questions about the coverage of the “study away” plan, please speak with your Study Abroad Advisor.
All other students participating on an international program will automatically be enrolled in Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI), the university's international health, medical and repatriation insurance policy.
Program cost information includes program fees, as well as out-of-pocket expenses with notes to help explain costs. Program fees are estimated and can be adjusted at any time. Once accepted, you will receive a cost sheet that includes confirmed program fees and additional out-of-pocket expenses. "The IAP Program Fee" and all processes and policies stated on this cost sheet apply to all participants on programs managed by International Academic Programs (IAP) and in partnership with the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, the College of Engineering, and Wisconsin School of Business. All students participating on approved programs are all eligible to apply for scholarships administered through IAP when they meet the scholarship eligibility and selection criteria.
UW–Madison students can typically use their financial aid on UW–Madison study abroad, domestic study away, and international internship programs. You need to complete a FAFSA if you want to be eligible to receive federal and state financial aid.
Beginning in 2026-27, the Office of Student Financial Aid will require all incoming undergraduate students to submit a CSS profile.
Students Requiring Accommodations: Consult and register with the McBurney Disability Resource Center McBurney Services if you will need academic, housing, and/or other disability-related accommodations or services abroad.
Military-Connected Students with Veteran’s Benefits: Talk with University Veteran Services about how your benefits can be used for study abroad.
This program is offered by the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. We have a team that works with each program. Each member of this program team is able to help students with different kinds of questions. Visit the advising webpage to learn how to schedule an appointment.

The Bryan Davia Scholarship was created in his honor to commemorate his life and to continue to share his gift of enriching the lives of everyone around him. As someone who loved to explore the world and everything life had to offer, Bryan would want nothing more than to help others do the same. Bryan was a compassionate, outgoing, hard working alumni of UW-Madison who cherished his time studying abroad in Barcelona. During his time abroad, Bryan set out to discover everything his new home had to offer. Bryan possessed the ability to extract the energy of a city through the exploration of its music, nightlife, and food allowing him to fully integrate himself within his environment and it’s culture. Bryan understood the value of knowledge gained from experiences and social interactions, rather than just in a classroom. We hope the recipient of this scholarship shares his devotion to balancing hard work with an unrelenting desire to explore, discover, and enjoy every moment in their new city.
