Estimated Cost
Students participating on co-sponsored programs are charged a program fee which is inclusive of the co-sponsor's program fee, University of Minnesota educational costs, and international health insurance. University of Minnesota educational costs cover application processing, advising servies, orientation, course registration, grade transfer and posting for resident credit as well as assistance with financial aid when applicable. Based on these additional services and benefits, the overall program fee will be higher than the co-sponsor's published program fee.
University of Minnesota Educational Costs will range from $500 to $1,500 and vary by program. The co-sponsored program's portion of the program fee can be used to assist in estimating cost and is available at the program site linked below. In most cases, airfare, field trips, meals, and personal expenses are additional. An adviser in the Learning Abroad Center can help you find complete cost information. See Financial Resources to find resources about comparing costs.
