Description:
| The UCR offers a range of interdisciplinary courses to exchange students. All regular courses are taught in Spanish but students may also enroll in a special UCR program taught in English at their International Center for Sustainable Human Development (CIDH). CIDH provides an in-depth analysis of Latin American and Caribbean countries from social, cultural, economic, political, historical and diplomatic perspectives. Fall semester runs mid-August through mid-December with Spring semester running from mid-January through mid-May and summer session begins early in June and runs through mid-July. Approval from your academic advisor for your planned coursework prior to departure for Costa Rica is essential. International health insurance is required for the period of study; students must have a current, valid U.S. passport to travel to Costa Rica. At the end of the semester, the UCR will send your academic transcript to the UA Office of Study Abroad and Student Exchange. Coursework is evaluated as transfer credits for inclusion towards your total degree unit requirements; your exchange coursework grades do no affect your UA grade point average.
