About Program
Together with Universidad Latina de Costa Rica, ICDS provides students an immersive opportunity to improve their Spanish language while learning about the culture of Costa Rica and communities of Latin America at large. The program includes a service-learning core course that 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. Students will also have the opportunity to take electives with a different focus, such as sustainable tourism, corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, as well as human rights and the plight of migrants in the Americas.
