Many courses take a Latin American perspective giving you a deeper understanding of the issues and challenges facing the region and some of the environmental electives include lab work or field trips which bring you closer to Costa Rica\u2019s diverse ecology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spanish language is available at all levels from Beginner through Advanced and courses run in 4-week blocks. Classes are taught Monday through Friday in the morning for 15 hours per week for a total of 60 contact hours and are recommended for 4 semester credits. Classes are small to maximize language learning. Specialized Spanish language courses are also available for Health Professionals and Law Enforcement Professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elective courses run for the length of the semester in the afternoon, are 48 to 60 contact hours and are recommended for 3 or 4 semester credits. Most electives are taught in English. Electives taught in Spanish focus on literature and linguistics. There may be mandatory weekend field trips associated with some healthcare, environmental sciences or sustainability courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students on the semester program may take one Spanish language course plus three electives, two Spanish language courses and two electives or three Spanish language courses and one elective for a total of 13 \u2013 16 semester credits.* If taking more than one Spanish language course students need to successfully complete the test at the end of each course before proceeding to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students on the extended semester program take an additional Spanish language course either at the end of the semester in spring or at the beginning of the semester in fall for a maximum of 19 credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The language level you participate in and the electives you are eligible to take will be determined by an online oral and written placement test prior to your arrival in Costa Rica. It is important to obtain pre-approval from your home institution for several levels of Veritas language courses and several alternate Veritas elective courses. Your final course schedule will be determined on site. Students wishing to take electives taught in Spanish must place into the High Intermediate or Advanced level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*Students may opt out of the Spanish Language course and substitute an elective course for an additional fee.<br>*Students may elect to take three 4-credit elective or two 4-credit electives + the 3- credit cultural photography course for an additional fee.<br>*Enrollment in Cultural Photography (PHOT 2130) may require an additional fee. This fee will be added at the time of course registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div id=\"page-block-23\" class=\"block-accordion__item\">\n\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"block-accordion__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\tInternship and Spanish Program\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item-content DOM-slider-hidden\" aria-hidden=\"false\">\n\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item-content-inner\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>Internship programs provide you with an opportunity to gain valuable work experience and professional skills alongside your academic study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students must have a GPA of 2.6, be 20 years of age by the start of the placement, have at least 2 years of college-level Spanish (or equivalent) and place into an Advanced level of Spanish in order to participate in the Internship Program. Students should have also completed a minimum of 5 courses in a field of study related to their preferred internship. Students wishing to participate in the Biomolecular Lab and Conservation Biology Internship only need to have an Intermediate 1 (2 semesters of college-level Spanish) level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students begin this program with a preparatory 4-week Spanish language course to refresh or improve their existing Spanish language skills ready for their placement. The course is 60 contact hours for a suggested 4 semester credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internships are unpaid positions within companies or NGOs in the vicinity of Universidad LCI Veritas or within the Central Valley, a bus ride away. Students are placed in positions related to their major and\/or interests and are assessed by meetings, a major project and a presentation at the end of the internship. Students are supervised by a professor at Universidad Veritas who will guide them through the project work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students take one Spanish language course for 4 semester credits, an internship for 4 semester credits, an independent study course recommended for 3 semester credits and, if their schedule permits, they may be able to take one or two additional elective classes. The suggested total of recommended credits for the semester is 12 to 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students must work a minimum of 30 hours per week on the internship assignment in order to receive internship credits. LCI Veritas typically equates approximately 240 internship hours to 6 U.S. credits.

My name is Karla Carballo and I am very glad for your interest in being part of AIFS Abroad and our &#8220;pura vida&#8221; lifestyle in Costa Rica. As a study abroad student by the age of 15 while in France, I understood from first-hand the value of this experience, the importance of the quality and uniqueness of the program. International education has become a passion in my life and being part of the students&#8217; personal and academic growth is a real honor; and for this reason, we pursue excellence.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My professional training in Psychology has been a wonderful complement to provide support to international students when facing the challenges of living abroad. You can always count on us for support, guidance, and of course&#8230;ideas to enjoy your adventure in Costa Rica. I hope you all have an unforgettable life-changing experience with us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Program Director provides academic advice, introduces you to the community and handles communication with the University.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-tabs__button-wrapper\">\n\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"block-tabs__button\" data-target=\"page-block-38\">\n\t\t\t\t\tCultural Activities\t\t\t<\/button>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"page-block-38\" class=\"block-tabs__tab-content\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"print-only\">\n\t\t\tCultural Activities\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\n<p>In addition to excursions a cultural calendar of weekly activities and social events is included in your program fee.
