Costa Rica

Live, intern, and study in San José, the cosmopolitan capital of Costa Rica that is bursting at the seams with museums, restaurants, shopping malls, and nightclubs! Outdoor adventure awaits you in Costa Rica, a country renowned for its eco-tourism. And you can study Tropical Marine Biology or Tropical Ecology and Resource Management in two focused programs offered in the summer and in January.

The university system in Costa Rica is very much like that of the United States. At the Universidad Veritas, you are required to attend a given number of lectures, tutorials, and/or laboratory periods, and group practice sessions each week. Like your home university, individual reading and research will also be necessary to succeed in your courses. You will be expected to develop independent study skills with a minimum of professional supervision. Grades given on tests, assignments, and practical work count toward your final grade for the course.
