Tuition and Program Fee

---

As institutions around the world determine program costs at different times, it is difficult for Education Abroad to provide actual cost information until shortly before the beginning of a program. You are encouraged to consult this document on a regular basis as it is frequently updated with the most current cost information and billing information available.

Students are assessed the standard University Park Penn State Tuition and Technology Fee, an Education Abroad Administrative Fee, and an Education Abroad Program Fee.

The program fee includes:

• Housing
• On-site orientation and support
• Some field trips
• Some meals may be provided depending on location of study and housing option.

Student Visa Cost

The actual cost of the visa will vary depending on the type of visa required and the student's country of citizenship and the locations chosen for study by the student. The Consulate General of the host country reserves the right to change their visa fees without prior notice. For exact pricing, students should contact directly the nearest Consulate for the host country.
