Biological Sciences students go wild in Costa Rica

Marshall University Biological Sciences students just wrapped up an unforgettable 15-day field course in beautiful Costa Rica! From rainforests to rivers, students explored the country’s rich biodiversity while diving deep into the world of tropical biology.

The immersive experience brought classroom learning to life—whether it was spotting exotic wildlife, studying plant ecology, or trekking through lush jungles, every day offered new discoveries and hands-on science.

This field course is just one of the many ways the Department of Biological Sciences gives students the chance to learn beyond the lecture hall. ¡Pura vida, Marshall Biologists!
