Coming This Fall: University Credit Through WCU!

We are thrilled to announce a new academic partnership between The Bridge and Western Colorado University that allows our students to earn up to 6 college credits while participating in our supportive gap experience in Costa Rica.

Beginning this fall, students can enroll in two college-level courses taught by our Director, Dr. Danny Recio, who now serves as faculty of record for Western Colorado University's Center for Learning and Innovation.

The course offerings include:

Dimensions of Healthy Living
A popular course Danny has taught for years at Veritas University, this class explores nine key areas of young adult wellbeing, including physical health, emotional wellness, ethical behavior, relationships, executive functioning, civic engagement, and more.

Culture, Community, and Global Citizenship
A hands-on, experiential course that brings global issues to life through The Bridge’s signature programming - Aventuras, community service, internships, and cultural immersion - all framed through the lens of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

​This partnership adds an important academic layer to the transformative experience The Bridge already offers, and we’re excited for students to gain both personal growth and college credit from a US university during their time with us!
