    Enjoy the experience of a lifetime in Costa Rica this summer! The Costa Rica trip is one of GPC's best established study abroad programs. The program is hosted in country at the Centro Linguìstico Conversa in Santa Ana, which has offered a wide range of Spanish courses since its establishment in1974. Students will be studying at the Santa Ana campus. According to the Conversa website, "Our six-acre Santa Ana campus boasts two small lodges, a 45-foot swimming pool, 30 small classrooms, a cafeteria, an administration building, a small library, a volleyball court, a basketball hoop, ping pong tables, a TV/computer lounge, lots of grassy areas, trees, plants, flowers, birds…in our humble estimation, this is THE place to immerse yourself in Spanish." In addition to excursions, activities may include Salsa lessons and afternoon trips to villages and sites in and around Santa Ana.  

    Students can earn up to 6 credit hours for a combination of creative writing and  intensive Spanish language study.
