For over 40 years, the Organization for Tropical Studies has provided creative, ground-breaking, and scientifically sound graduate education programs.

Today the organization remains committed to including training in tropical studies as part of the experience of both students and professionals, in biology and in related disciplines such as conservation biology, global health, environmental policy, and natural history. OTS offers courses for undergraduate and graduate students and professionals in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
