About Program
Jointly with Universidad Latina de Costa Rica, ICDS offers you the opportunity to build your own semester. Students can select their own elective courses in areas of sustainability, environment, and human rights, in addition to required Spanish language and service-learning core courses. The service-learning course includes weekly sessions of community work and provides participants a chance to learn more about local non-profits, practice their Spanish, and give back during their time in Costa Rica. All courses, with the exception of Spanish, are taught in English by ICDS' bilingual faculty.
