Adventure in Costa Rica

Designed for students interested in learning Spanish, this summer program features classes at the Costa Rica Spanish Institute (COSI), an outstanding academic institution located in San José, the capital of the most stable, progressive country in Latin America. Besides courses taught in Spanish by Millsaps and COSI professors, the program includes a good balance of cultural activities, educational tours, and recreational travel. Students have excellent opportunities to make new friends and experience Hispanic culture firsthand by staying with middle-class Costa Rican families. We invite you to take advantage of this exceptional chance to enjoy living the language as well as learning it. Students wishing to take courses towards the language requirement must consult with the Director on prerequisites and placement. A service learning option is available.
