Course Disclaimer

Courses and course hours of instruction are subject to change.

All students on the Courses with Costa Ricans at Veritas University Program are required to take a two-part placement test. The first portion is administered online by Veritas University prior to departure. The second portion is administered on-site upon arrival in Costa Rica and consists of an oral interview with a Veritas professor. The combination of these results determine the courses in which the student is eligible to enroll.

Students who do not place into the advanced level will be required to participate in the Spanish Language and Electives program. Due to a difference in dates, the student is responsible for all airline change fees and any additional costs that he/she may have incurred.
