Since 1989, Universidad Latina has been
the most important and largest private university
in Costa Rica. There are around 16 000 students
enrolled in majors such as Dentistry, Medicine,
Architecture, Engineering, Business Administration,
Law, Communication, International Relations,

Our
Spanish Immersion Program
is designed to fulfill the student’s
needs in oral production, grammar and composition.
Language is taught in active way, by means
of direct contact with the culture of the
country, and not in a traditional classroom
environment based on grammar rules. All
school assignments are related to social
reality and important cultural aspects.
In this way, the student is able to understand
the Latino’ s life style, costumes,
behavior, history and values while learning
the Spanish. This experience will obviously
make them grow personally and academically.
