For Visa Purposes:
  • Students should have at least US$3,860 for academic and living expenses for one 5-week term.
  • Students should have at least US$11,659 for academic and living expenses for one 15-week (one semester) term.

  • Students should have at least US$3,188 for academic and living expenses for one three-week travel study term  (all activities included).
Because tuition must be paid on the first day of  class, every student should have the necessary funds available in US dollars. Our recommendation is for students to consult their local bank about a safe way to transfer funds so that money is available when they arrive in Maryville. Students should not carry large sums of cash.
 

  • Airport pickup is FREE if you arrive during the designated dates/times. However, there will be a $100 NON-refundable late fee for those arriving after 9 p.m. on the designated arrival date.

  • Please note that the activity fee covers transportation; students are responsible for any extra event-related costs, like tickets, food, etc.

All fees are subject to change without prior notice and are typically readjusted every August. Refunds are made in emergency cases only when students must leave the program early. Refunds are calculated on a weekly basis. Any payments made for multiple sessions are fully refundable if a student withdraws earlier than originally expected because of documented emergencies. Application fees and health insurance payments cannot be refunded.
