Program Overview

Program Description:

Our semester program is designed for fall athletes to study abroad in the spring or spring athletes in the fall. You'll keep up with your off-season workouts and return to campus well prepared for your upcoming season!

We partnered with one of Central America's top universities, Universidad Veritas, located in Costa Rica's capital and centrally located from the student's host families. Students have the choice between Spanish Language courses or a full catalog of elective courses taught in English including biology, business, politics, environmental science, and much more!

Students will also enjoy weekend excursions to Manuel Antonio National Park and Volcano Arenal, gain access to private training facilities and weight rooms, and organize service-learning clinics for Costa Rican youth.

Student-Athletes Abroad works to ensure you have the most well-rounded experience abroad, while returning to your campus ready for season.

*This program is not exclusive to student-athletes.

Setting Description:

Costa Rica is one of the most biologically diverse regions in the world. It is also the safest country in all of Central America. Student-Athletes Abroad college programs are based in San Jose; the busy capitol city located only a few hours from two coasts and surrounded by several national parks.
