Fees

All students are required to register for one 3-credit course. Course tuition is $3975. Students are also required to submit a $100 Application Fee. In addition, students are responsible for the cost of their airfare to and from Seoul; housing; health insurance and immunizations; meals and all other living expenses for the duration of the program. We estimate the total of these additional expenses to be in the range of $3000 to $4000.

For students participating in the optional second course, the tuition is $2650.

For students participating in the internship program, the 3-credit internship tuition is $2795 ($500 due on application; $2295 due May 1, 2025); the 2-credit internship tuition is $2030 ($500 due on application; $1530 due May 1, 2025); and non-credit internships require a $500 placement fee on application. Interns will also want to budget for extended housing, meals and other living expenses.
