UGS 3960 - Community Engagement in Costa Rica

Meets with POLS 3960. A learning abroad course that uses community engaged learning to explore the history, culture, and civic issues of Costa Rica. We will consider the theories of civic leadership, systems ecology, and collective impact, to better understand and describe how travel and tourism affect quality of life and culture in a Costa Rican community. This course meets on the U campus for seven class sessions and then travels for one-week intensive learning in Costa Rica during Spring Break.
