This staple UCA program in Costa Rica offers students interested in Spanish language learning an opportunity to immerse themselves in the language in addition to experiencing the Costa Rican culture up close.

“The best advice I can give a student who is learning a new language is to take the opportunity of a language immersion program. You are thrown into a country where you are forced to learn the language in order to communicate and ‘survive.’ My grammar became better and my classmates were able to understand more by the time we left.”
