ICADS' program offers over 65 placements with organizations in the areas of the environment, education, health, development, wildlife conservation, agriculture, and women’s studies, among others. Students have the option of interning with organizations in Costa Rica or in Nicaragua.
This for-credit program prepares students for their 8 week internship by first providing a 5 week block of classes to both help ground students in the context and issues facing this region while also improving their Spanish communication abilities through small intensive Spanish classes.
During the internship, students are closely supervised by an ICADS coordinator and an on-site supervisor.
