Study Abroad Program Costs

Study Abroad costs and financial arrangements vary depending on the type of program you choose. Review the information below to understand how tuition, housing, financial aid, and CCE awards apply to each program type.


Study Abroad Administrative Fee

All students participating in Study Abroad programs are charged an administrative fee when term charges are applied:

  • Semester programs: $420

  • Summer and J-term programs: $180


Exchange Programs

Exchange programs are institutions with which Carroll University maintains agreements to send and receive students. Carroll partners with institutions around the world, offering a variety of courses for students across academic majors. Exchange programs can be an affordable option for students looking to study abroad while earning credit toward their degree.

Finances

  • Receive your traditional financial aid package.

  • Pay tuition to Carroll University.

  • Pay room and board costs to the host institution.

  • A CCE award may be applied if you are eligible.
     

Affiliated Programs

Affiliated programs are offered through institutions and organizations with which Carroll University has formal agreements. Options include degree-granting institutions and programs designed specifically for study abroad students.

Depending on the program, students may take courses at a local university, a dedicated study center, or a combination of both. Housing options may include apartments, residence halls, or homestays with local families.

Finances

  • Federal and state financial aid may be retained; institutional aid does not apply.

  • Pay the applicable tuition charges to Carroll University.

  • Pay room and board costs to the host institution or program provider, as applicable.

  • A CCE award may be applied if you are eligible.
     

Unaffiliated Programs

Unaffiliated programs are study abroad opportunities that are not formally affiliated with or promoted by Carroll University. These programs can offer flexibility in destination, academic focus, and program structure. Options may include faculty-led programs offered by other institutions, such as UW–Milwaukee and Marquette, or programs offered through universities such as NYU, Xavier, and Gonzaga.

Unaffiliated programs must be reviewed and approved by a CCE advisor before participation. Approval considerations include the program's safety, accreditation, and reputation.

Finances

  • Pay tuition, fees, housing, and other program costs directly to the program provider rather than Carroll University.

  • Federal financial aid may be available; institutional aid does not apply.

  • A Consortium Agreement is required to use eligible federal financial aid.

  • CCE awards cannot be applied to unaffiliated programs.

Please note: Unaffiliated programs may not appear on the CCE website because they are not among Carroll's formally affiliated program options. Contact a CCE advisor to discuss a program you are considering before making commitments.
