Overall Experience

A student studying abroad with Veritas Christian Study Abroad: San Jose - Study Abroad and Missions Program

Past Review A Learning Experience With Memories That Will Last A Lifetime!

It was definitely worthwhile! I learned to be more confident and independent, I was basically fluent in Spanish while down in Costa Rica, I met amazing friends, and I tried so many new foods and activities! Allison Lease - Bethany Lutheran College

I learned about a whole new culture and was able to connect to them through learning the language, ministry work, and having a host family that made sure I was always taken care of. It was definitely worthwhile! Kari K - Berea College

About

Students participating in a Veritas Christian Study Abroad program in San José, Costa Rica will be able to experience a Latin American metropolis while also having the rest of Costa Rica's pristine natural wonders at their fingertips. Costa Rica is a utopia for outdoor enthusiasts and beach lovers alike.

Each Veritas program includes a Mission Mentor who disciples Veritas students in their experiences through prayer, reflection, and spiritual support as well as connects them to ministry partners and local churches. The International Mission/Service-Learning Practicum provides a great opportunity to reinforce the cross-cultural missions experience in-country. Students will receive college credits for the reflection activities, journal entries, and cultural research which enhance the overall experience.

Fall and Spring semester students will take one three-credit Veritas course and the International Missions/Service-Learning Practicum (1-3 credits). Students will have the opportunity to choose from a broad selection of other courses from the Roehampton University catalog to maintain full-time status and fulfill their academic requirements.
