About
This course will provide the context for an authentic cross-cultural experience. Students will embark on a two week field adventure in the breath-taking, beautiful Central American nation of Costa Rica. The course instructor and students will explore multiple cultural, social, and natural environments to include cities, towns, villages, schools, rainforests, mountain regions, coastal areas, and agricultural zones. An appreciation for indigenous flora, fauna, language, and geography will be cultivated and integrated into the culture-learning process, as well as an enhanced understanding of globalization realities.
