Lipscomb in Costa Rica
Costa Rica has it all: tropical climate, diverse landscapes, friendly people, and adventure around every corner. In Costa Rica you will have the opportunity to experience the "pura vida" lifestyle that has made the small Central American country the top destination in Latin America for US students studying abroad.
It is the top destination in Latin America for US students studying abroad, and it's easy to see why. Making up only 0.03% of the earth’s surface, Costa Rica hosts over 5% of the world’s biodiversity. You’ll be surprised by the sheer variety of landscapes that the country offers—from coasts on both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to cloud forests and volcanoes.

This bustling region of Costa Rica provides easy access to museums, modern cultural attractions, vibrant shopping centers and restaurants, as well as numerous national parks and reserves.
The program runs during the spring semesters. The program fee includes round-trip flights, supplemental medical and travelers' insurance, academic field trips, and multiple group trips to other destinations within Costa Rica.
