Our programs offer the opportunity for university students to enroll in challenging, interactive courses, enhanced by excursions, guest speakers, and tours. Study abroad adds an invaluable dimension to a student’s academic, cultural, and professional development. Firsthand experience of other countries and cultures provides a clearer understanding of ourselves, our own society and culture, our place in the global community, and our common human heritage. The overall objective of our programs is for students to learn as much as possible of the economic, cultural and social life of Costa Rica and its friendly, educated and polite people, that are always ready to see that foreigners enjoy their country, of which  they are very proud.  Awareness of these differences and similarities help develop a deeper understanding of the close relation with the American culture, its influence and differences.
