Undergraduate Program in Costa Rica: Student Experiences

"Through this CIBER study abroad program, I was able to experience Costa Rica's unique culture and learn about how it came to be this way. As a country that is trying to pursue sustainable development, we were able to see first-hand how Costa Rica is trying to achieve this and also the challenges it will need to overcome in the future. This trip is thoughful, well-organized, and made me think about the impact of business on a global scale"-2012 participant

"Vicki is the best. Costa Rica was awesome. Pura vida!"-2012 participant

"You will learn to think differently about the world through a better understanding of your actions on the world" -2012 participant

"This program was a tremendous experience. I increased my awareness of environmental issues, learned about a new culture, and furthered myself as an individual--all while enjoying myself and having fun with other group members" -2012 participant

"The course integrates learning in and outside of the classroom and you will always have a stimulated mind. Sustainability and business can work together to be beneficial to not only the environment but also on the bottom line by competitive advantages and differentiation. The weather, positivity, and liveliness of the people, and world class instructors will give you a transformational experience that will help you in many facets for years to come."

"One of the most eye opening, exciting, and worthwhile experiences of my life. I never once felt homesick because my group felt like family to me."
-2011 participant

"I really learned a lot about myself and how to interact with other students. Being together everyday forces you to get to know people you hadn't known before. I have made friends with all of them and highly recommend to do one of these trips. Overall I learned how to appreciate and accept to understand a culture foreign to my own."
