Coastal is pleased to send its students on this three-week Maymester program to San José, Costa Rica. This is an excellent opportunity to earn
university credit while acquiring or improving
conversational Spanish skills in a
uniquely beautiful country.
Participants will arrive in San José on
Sunday, May 10, 2009. Classes at Institute  de Español “Costa Rica” will begin on
Monday, May 11, and will meet five days a
week for four hours each morning and during
the afternoon for one to three hours of
classroom and/or organized activities. Students will receive three hours of transfer
credit (no grade) for SPAN 350, and under
the instruction of Coastal professors will
earn three hours of credit for SPAN130 or SPAN330.
Students will receive a grade for the coursework
taught by Coastal faculty.
To supplement your academic experience,
the following excursions have been included
in the program: a guided bus tour of San
José; a walking tour of the area surrounding
the school; Latin dance classes; visits to Poas
and Arenal Volcanoes; Tabacon Hot Water
Springs; the Monteverde Cloud Forest
National Park; and visits to several San José
museums and beaches.
While in San José, students will live with
carefully selected host families. Room and
board will consist of a private room, with
breakfast and dinner each day. Students will
be met at the airport by their host families
and driven home to unpack and settle in.
The next morning a host-family member
will escort the student to classes and return
that afternoon to acquaint the student with
the bus route. If a student has particular
dietary needs, he or she will be placed with
a family that can accommodate those needs.
The fee for this three-week program
including airfare, room and board, and the
excursions
is $2,525 plus $750 tuition for instruction provided
by Coastal Carolina University faculty for either SPAN130 or SPAN330.
Students pay the program fee to the Office
of International Programs and Services. The
tuition must be paid to the Office of Student Accounts prior to departure.
