These are short-term (typically 2-3 weeks plus, in some cases an online component) field intensive courses where students spend most of the academic experience learning in the lab or on the field. Students get to experience different areas, environments, microclimates, species, activities, and rural communities during these weeks. It is typically a very academic and culturally rewarding experience for the students that choose this modality. You can look at our Field Courses offerings in the “courses section” by applying the Field Courses filter.

We offer credit awarding internships, typically 8, 12, or 16 weeks long. These International Transformative Internships integrate technical field outcomes of cross-cultural intelligence and personal growth as part of a holistic and transformative experience. Thus, candidates cannot only gain technical knowledge in specific areas but also expand their global dexterities by increasing awareness of the implications and applications of intercultural work settings taking as a central reference their own culture. These internships tend to be Co-Op managed internships with shared responsibility between the students, a field supervisor with knowledge in that specific area, and an intercultural academic advisor facilitating intercultural dexterity and personal development throughout the process. You can look at our Internship offerings in the “courses section” under ACADEMICS by applying the Internship filter.

The silver linings of 2020 were the opportunity to train our Staff and Faculty to offer a dynamic remote learning environment. Students can now opt to attend on-campus programs and have the total immersion cultural experience or opt to enroll as a complete online international student taking courses in a remote modality. To prepare our students for either participation modality, we have structured an Online Veritas Study Abroad orientation course that students can access when they enroll in any of our programs. All essential elements needed to prepare for their international Costa Rica experience are covered through videos, infographics, and fun interactions.
