Spartans Academy Abroad, Costa Rica

The Spartans Academy Abroad program in Monteverde, Costa Rica is designed as an invitation-only pre-enrollment program for incoming first-year students. Prior to the start of their first semester, students enroll in an online component starting July 1, then complete the program by studying abroad in early August for two weeks and earn 8 academic credit hours towards Honors Program Idea Labs. If a student decides not to pursue the Honors Program the credits will count towards distribution requirements in Spartan Studies. The two academic courses are taught in August by UT faculty in Costa Rica. The application/deposit deadline is May 1. The remaining travel fees are due by June 30.
