Travel Abroad!

TUITION

Tuition for our programs abroad is reduced from $1170/unit to $800/unit. The tuition is reduced to allow students to use the extra funds towards airfare, accommodations, and other costs incurred while abroad.

PROGRAM FEE

Students pay a $325 program fee for each program (location) they participate in. This fee is not a deposit towards tuition, rather a separate payment towards on-site logistical fees such as classroom rentals, speakers, overhead and some group activities, meals and transportation. For students participating in both programs offered in Rio (International Practicum and Corporate Governance), the program fees are reduced from $650 (two individual program fees) to $500 (two programs in the same location).

OTHER COSTS

*Students are responsible for purchasing their own airline tickets and applying for any necessary visas.
*Group housing will be arranged by the Ahlers Center and all participants are encouraged to stay together as a group. Accommodation costs will vary by locations.
*Some transportation (company visits), group activities (group tour), and meals (welcome or closing dinner) may be included in your program. All other transportation and meals are the individual student's responsibility.
