In Costa Rica, doctorates are the highest academic degrees awarded by a university. They are focused on research and accessible only after the study of an academic Master's degree (as opposed to a professional Master's degree, intended for practical subjects).<ref>{{cite web |title=General information about university degrees |url=https://infoues.conare.ac.cr/web/infoues/informacion-general |website=Conare |access-date=24 September 2024 |language=Spanish}}</ref> The [[University of Costa Rica]], for example, offers a general ''Doctor of Sciences'' degree for students of all natural and exact sciences, a ''Doctor of Engineering'' degree for students of Engineering (in cooperation with the [[Costa Rica Institute of Technology]]), and a few other doctorate programs on applied sciences (for example, in Agricultural Sciences or Informatics).<ref>{{cite web |title=Doctorados |url=https://www.sep.ucr.ac.cr/sep-posgrados/sep-grado-academico/sep-doctorados |website=Sistema de Estudios de Posgrado, Universidad de Costa Rica |access-date=24 September 2024 |language=Spanish}}</ref>
