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. All students are assessed the standard University Park tuition and technology fee. 

The Education Abroad Program Fee includes:

  • Housing
  • On-site orientation and support
  • Some meals depending on which housing option a student chooses
