Budget estimate based on Spring 2024 fees (Updated 10/30/2023)
For program dates: January 29 - May 9, 2024 **

1. Additional Course Fees: Students enrolled in AH252 ($200), ED254 ($200), AR312 ($100) or CU270 ($120) are billed the additional amount in parentheses approximately one month after the program begins. 

2.  Housing & Included Meals: The figure above is for those staying in a Premium Student Apartment or Residence Hall with no meals provided.  Students who opt for a standard Apartment or Residence Hall or a Homestay should budget $750 less than the fee above.  Those who opt for a Premium Plus Apartment or Residence Hall single room should budget an additional $750 for a total of $5,666 for housing.  Additional housing fees are billed approximately one month after the program begins. No meals are provided in any of the housing options, except Homestays.  See below for additional meal costs.

3.  Visa: Figure includes consular fees ($54.50) and IES visa processing fee ($150). 

4. Passport: The estimated cost above includes the $60 fee for expedited service. The U.S. State Department is currently experiencing delays in receiving passport applications with routine processing service estimated to take a minimum of 14 weeks. We, therefore, recommend that students send their application using USPS’ Priority Mail Express and request expedited service. Click here for more information on securing a passport.

5.  Additional Meals: Meal costs vary by housing type. The figure above is for those staying in Apartments or Residence Halls. Students in Homestays should budget a total of $1,800 for additional meals costs, since 12 meals/week are included in the fee.

Please note you may have additional expenses related to required or recommended immunizations. The Wofford College Office of International Programs urges you to consult your program materials, the Centers for Disease Control website, and your healthcare provider to assess such needs.
