Numbers included in this budget sheet are estimates, and are for planning purposes only. Your actual cost of participating in the program may be higher or lower, depending on a variety of factors.

The program fee is $4,525 and includes the following:
Airfare
Airfare is not included. Participants are responsible for making their own round-trip travel arrangements from the US to their destination city. Program directors will meet with accepted students to go over specific travel logistics and may help students in identifying low-cost travel options. For best fares, accepted students are encouraged to purchase their tickets prior to April 15.
Tuition
Tuition is included in the program fee. Students will receive transfer credit for all coursework completed in this program, eliminating the need to pay VCU’s per-credit tuition rate and the Arts tuition differential. This saves an in-state Arts student more than $3,000 for a six-credit summer program.
In order to receive credit, students must earn the equivalent of a C or better.
