What is PAI?

Your EARTH link to tropical expertise

The International Academic Program (PAI) office at EARTH University offers a series of programs which contribute to the international academic development of students and university professors from around the world.

We offer programs that, through a combination of class and field work, teach sustainable development and explore strategies to address rural poverty, global warming, and biodiversity loss.

Whether you choose to join our student body for a trimester, participate in an individualized internship program, or take a short course, you will be involved in an intensive learning experience and have the opportunity to solve practical problems through a “learning by doing” approach.

Our international faculty, with worldwide experience in research and development will assist you in your quest to better understand the critical issues facing our planet, especially as they relate to the humid tropics. You will leave with a new set of tools to help you make your contribution to the sustainability and developmental challenges of a global world.
