ABOUT US

UNIV 392 courses provide students the opportunity to participate in a CSU Channel Islands sponsored short-term study abroad program. These courses are led by CI faculty. Students must go through an application process in order to be admitted into the UNIV 392 course.

During the Fall 2016 semester, led by the instruction of Dr. Rodriguez, a CI ESRM professor and program chair, 19 lucky students had the honor to travel to Costa Rica, where they participated in service-learning activities focused on the environment, toured the country, and experienced a new culture.

This blog contains details about their daily adventures so please, read along and enjoy the beauty that Costa Rica has to share!

Pura Vida!
