ICADS is a center for study, research, and analysis of Central American social and environmental issues. We focus on women's issues, economic development, environmental studies, public health, education, human rights, and wildlife conservation.
ICADS offers four separate and distinct study programs through which students can earn academic credit as a study abroad program for their university (see specific program information for details on college credit), take intensive Spanish language coursework and volunteer in any number of internships we have available in Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
