Study Abroad in Costa Rica
In the College of Business Administration, students can experience globalization first-hand through the Study Abroad in Costa Rica program. Students spend 10 days in Costa Rica, participating in interactive sessions with local business professionals, enjoying the local culture and earning up to six hours of credit. The group tours several American and Costa Rican companies during the program. Participants are exposed to international business and gain an 
increased awareness of cultural differences in business practices.

First-hand experience of other countries and cultures provides a clearer understanding of our common human heritage, our own society and culture and our place in the global community.
