Atlas designs custom study abroad trips to Costa Rica for U.S. colleges and universities, specializing in faculty-led programs and J-term trip opportunities. We work directly with your professor or department to build the trip around your specific curriculum. Whether that’s biology, Spanish, business, or ministry studies. Professors and staff bring students to Costa Rica for 1-3 weeks of hands-on learning, providing a real-world setting for classroom subjects.

Based in Heredia, Costa Rica, Atlas serves as your on-the-ground coordinator for every college study abroad trip we run. We handle the logistics: custom itineraries, transportation, lodging, and meals so faculty can focus entirely on teaching and connecting with students, not managing details.

Students learn best when coursework connects to lived experience. Our study abroad programs blend academic rigor with Costa Rica’s culture, ecosystems, and adventure activities. Whether your students are studying business, Spanish, or biology, Atlas provides a setting where they can build real skills, deepen their faith, and gain a broader global perspective.
