Abstract
This study considers the future challenges the School of Literature and Language Sciences (ELCL) needs to sort out to keep an equilibrium between financial and educational sustainability. Whether prepared or not, the pandemic molded aspects of humanity, and as such universities were forced to move from a traditional classroom education to a virtual high-tech-based one. The post-pandemic era set educational systems with challenges in curriculum planning and how these can be sustained financially through time. Since Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica (UNA) gets governmental support, it is a fact that UNA and its different faculties must look for financial support and stability to operate with a much more comfortable scope. This paper discusses and evaluates the route the ELCL will take aligned with the Costa Rican governmental and UNA policies to keep providing the same quality teaching education in its majors: Spanish, English and French during these past five decades. Besides this, the new educational pathways require better business-like organizations whose goal is twofold: to serve the society and its citizens as well as to provide personnel labor stability and to keep the business going firmly.
