OVERVIEW
There’s no more exciting way to learn than to be immersed in a culture outside of your own. Our two week Biblical Leadership study abroad program in Costa Rica allows students to learn through classroom experience, field application, a local service project, and interaction with the people of Costa Rica. This program is designed to give students the opportunity to grow in knowledge and understanding as they explore leadership from a Biblical perspective and through interaction with the local church and business leaders.
Our 10 or 14-day study abroad program in Costa Rica allows students to learn through classroom experience, field application, a local service project, and interaction with the people and culture of Costa Rica.
