Summer Study Abroad for Student-Athletes in Costa Rica

About Program
Summer is the most flexible time in a student-athlete's schedule and a perfect time to study abroad in Costa Rica!
Our partnership with Veritas University in Costa Rica's capital, San Jose, allows students to enroll directly in courses taught in both Spanish and English and earn transferable academic credit at their home institution. During this four or five week program, students will live with host families around the city and have the unique opportunity of immersing themselves in the tico lifestyle, while sharing their love of sport with local athletes. During their summer abroad students will get to travel to some of Costa Rica's most famous sites and possibly complete an internship with one of our partner organizations.
Our Costa Rica Academic Program is open to both athletes and non-athletes of ALL majors!
Choose from a 4-Week Spanish Intensive Course or 5-Week Elective Courses taught in English & Spanish.
