Program highlights
Since we will be welcoming USAC staff from Cuba and France, let’s learn a little more about the programs!
Heredia, Costa Rica
Heredia, located just outside San José, offers the excitement of living near the capital city but with a calmer and more relaxed atmosphere. Costa Rica as a whole is well known for its extraordinary natural beauty—preserved in its many national parks and reserves—which you will have the opportunity to discover firsthand. The Heredia program is ideal for students who are committed to learning the Spanish language and the diverse cultures of Latin America. Through coursework and personal interaction with the host culture, you will greatly expand your language skills and knowledge of Costa Rican society.

Lyon, France
Lyon is one of the most attractive cities in France, creating a fresh combination of the bustle of a large, modern, European city and the simplicity of French tradition. The Presqu’île of Lyon serves as the city center with towering business buildings, blocks of busy shops, and streets lined with cafés full of Lyonnais taking their afternoon break. Spend your weekends biking or strolling along the Rhône or Saône rivers, planning a Sunday picnic with friends, or wandering through some of the most well-preserved Renaissance architecture in the world.
