Cost per student: $ 5520.00

 

(see application for dates due)

Cost includes:

• All student costs in Italy (access to library, self-study center, Internet) for all courses.

• Double rooms in shared student apartments with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities (the number of rooms per apartment varies from 1 to 7).

Cost does not include:

• Flight expense (some students may want to use frequent flier miles or even arrive or stay later).

• Travel to and from Siena from airport.

• Optional excursions to Rome and Florence, Chianti tours, etc.

• Food, except meals in the culinary demonstrations.

• AASU tuition for these courses. Obviously, since students are receiving Armstrong credit, tuition is still due. However, students will not need to pay on-campus fees (such as technology fee, athletic fee, etc.), totaling approximately $350-$400.

Other costs factors to consider:

• Students will complete a full semester in Siena. Therefore, all expenses associated with being on campus for 15 weeks are eliminated (housing, parking, etc.).

• Food would be an expense in the US or Italy. Food in Italy tends be about the same or less expensive then in the US.

Financial Aid:

Cost of this program is a legitimate academic expense and, as such, can be calculated into the student's eligibility for financial aid. Therefore, the program allows for greater potential for need-based programs such as subsidized Stafford loan, etc.
