International Student
Support
The International Programs Department (D.P.I)
coordinates an eclectic Study Abroad Program based on intensive
Spanish modules and courses in Humanities, International Business,
Latin American literature, Intercultural Studies and Environmental
Sciences.
The department has set up an excellent linguistic
exchange program allows international students to practice Spanish
and make new friend by pairing up with Costa Rican Students enrolled
in the regular Art Degree Programs.
The Student Affairs office is in charge of coordinating
a excellent homestay program with cultural oriented families who
receive international students during their stay in Costa Rica.
They also arrange for airport pickups.
Finally, within the Student Affairs office Veritas
operates a travel agency called Tico Viajero Expresso. The purpose
of this specialized agency is to guarantee our students the best
prices for weekend excursions and fun adventures. Tico Viajero
also coordinates extracurricular activities such as football matches,
picnics, cultural activites and field trips with professors from
elective courses.
In sum, the sole purpose of this department and
their bilingual staff is to make sure that your stay at the university
and in Costa Rica is both productive and enjoyable. |
