Study Abroad CAT Communities provide a dynamic, global learning experience for K-State students from the start of their college experience. Like our other CAT Communities, 22 first-year students take a group of academic classes together during the fall semester, but they also have the chance to travel abroad over Winter Break for an international service-learning adventure.
Develop your intermediate Spanish skills through meaningful interactions with Spanish speakers here in Manhattan and in the small rural community of Atenas, Costa Rica. The Spanish in Action community links the study and practice of service-learning with a special section of Spanish 4, culminating in an 11-day service-learning immersion adventure in Costa Rica. Trip dates are: January 7th-January 17th of 2014.
Study Abroad: Costa Rica. Prerequisites: Placement into SPAN 4.

(In some limited circumstances, students with GPAs under 2.5 may also receive a scholarship upon the recommendation of the learning community instructor and the Director of K-State First.
