The University of Puerto Rico at Utuado is the only university campus in Puerto Rico in a rural setting. The campus specializes in agricultural technological studies; it is located in the center of the island, about an hour and a half from San Juan, in a region of archaeological value where the first inhabitants of Puerto Rico, the Taino Indians, lived.

Academics

UPRU awards associate's degrees and bachelor's degrees. Many of the academic programs also offer access to forty baccalaureate programs by articulated transfer to other campuses of the University of Puerto Rico.

The college has established four study projects that promote integrated technical and human issues related to agriculture and rural life in the local and international environment. These are: Research and Documentation Center of Mountain Affairs, Project for Rural Life assessment, Contemporary Articulation Learning Communities, and Sustainability First Year Infrastructure.

gollark: If you're writing a thing you probably have a decent idea of the problem domain involved and what's going on, and just have to work out how to express that in code.
gollark: What I'm saying is that reading things and understanding them can be harder than writing them sometimes.
gollark: Yes. It's not unique to Haskell.
gollark: For example, if I was doing Haskell, I could write everything awfully in `IO` and make it very comprehensible to a C user, or I could write it in some crazy pointfree way which I don't understand 5 seconds after writing it.
