Are there ways to help offset the costs of the study abroad requirement?
Under federal law, study abroad program costs, including airfares and program fees, are covered by financial aid, just like other educational expenses. The Center for Global Education Services can help you budget and prepare for financial aid. Also note, the costs of study abroad are the only additional fees above regular tuition paid by students in the global health programs. In the larger picture, this represents a very modest level of additional expenses; other undergraduate public health-related programs often apply significant additional program fees or differential tuition. Q: Are there any summer or winter study abroad programs? A: Currently, there are only summer programs. Therefore, planning ahead is crucial. The latest you should take the study abroad is the summer before the semester you plan to graduate.
