The Eller Study Tour to San Jose, Costa Rica allows for students the opportunity to practically apply classroom ethics and business skills to real world international applications in Costa Rica. This course will present several case studies of International Business and Business Ethics through guest lectures on topics such as eco-tourism, trade agreements, fair trade commodities and the ethical challenges of doing business in Costa Rica. Students will have the chance to go behind the scenes during the site visits and hear from business leaders in such places as Café Britt, Standard Fruit Co., and the Ministry of Finance. This program also includes excursions to the Poas Volcano, La Paz Waterfall Gardens, as well as a two night visit to Puerto Viejo. Students will live in a local casa that is within walking distance to the CEA classroom building and participate in social and cultural activities such as Latin dancing, white water rafting, and snorkeling. All aspects of this course will be presented in English. Administration: The Eller Study Tour to San Jose, Costa Rica is affiliated with Cultural Experiences Abroad (CEA).
