Join our unique program and study tropical agriculture and natural resources in two countries. During the first year of study, students complete coursework at the University of Idaho, followed by two or more additional years of research in tropical Costa Rica.

Students are jointly supervised by faculty at the University of Idaho and CATIE throughout the entire program, which meets international standards. Once all requirements are completed, students earn a Ph.D bearing the names of both institutions.
