Study Spanish in Costa Rica, a beautiful country full of natural wonders that spends more on education than on defense and boasts the longest tradition of orderly, democratic government in Central America. Students will enjoy the temperate climate, the fine public buildings, and the university facilities of its modern capital, San Jose, which lies in the shadow of a magnificent mountain range with peaks over 12,000 feet. The Universidad de Costa Rica will host the winter program.

The winter session group typically takes two weekend excursions - one to the Volcan Arenal; and the Tabacon Hot Springs and one to the Pacific coast. A number of day trips are planned to expose students to the culture and unique natural environment of Costa Rica. These may include several visits to various national parks to explore volcanos such as , Poas, and Irazu, a cloud forest, a butterfly farm, and natural hot springs. The group usually visits the Colonial Capital of Cartago and a coffee plantation as well. Visits to sites of interest in San Jose, such as the Museo Nacional and the Museo del Oro, are also included.

Students (applicants) interested in studying abroad in Costa Rica are encouraged to obtain their passports before the program deadline. Materials which require passport numbers are needed immediately upon acceptance to the program. Students without passports will be asked to expedite their passports which has an additional cost; obtaining the passports early will save money.
