Costs & Finances

One of the most important factors in planning to study abroad is considering how you will fund your experience. With proper planning and a commitment to exploring funding resources, studying abroad is affordable for any student.

Costs on Study Abroad

The total cost of a study abroad program will depend on many factors, including your destination country and the type and length of your program. In general, all budgets will be comprised of three components:

• Tuition: Billed to your student account either at the full-term semester rate or at a reduced rate per credit for summer study abroad programs.
• Education Abroad Program Fee: Billed to your student account; typically includes housing, varying number of meals, excursions, orientation, and international health insurance.
• Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Costs not included in your program fee but might need to be paid out of pocket both prior to departure (passport, flight, etc.) and on site (meals, books, transportation, travel, etc.). These numbers are estimates and are not billed to your student account.
