Program Spotlight: Costa Rica

 

We partner with Veritas University in San Jose - one of the top-ranked institutions in Central America. Their academic specializations draw from Costa Rica's distinct geography, biology, politics, international business, environmental protection, human rights record, and healthcare system ensuring that students receive a truly global education.

 

Students have the freedom to choose from a wide variety of over 50 courses offered in English, as well as Spanish courses for all levels. Typical academic programs run for 4-5 weeks, though students can extend their learning for up to 10 weeks with a custom program! We also offer the option to culminate any academic program with a hands-on 3-week internship with one of our local partners.

 

Students who participate in our academic programs have access to the university's extracurricular activities and classes, in addition to two weekend excursions and community service opportunities organized by Student-Athletes Abroad.
