Tuition-student exchange agreements between the U of A and foreign institutions stipulate that outbound U of A students pay for 15 hours of U of A tuition & on campus fees during their term abroad. Students are charged according to their major/college tuition rates. Students enroll in courses at a foreign institution.
Airfare-Students are responsible for making their own travel arrangements.
Meals-This budget assumes a $150/week budget for food. Depending on the student's housing choices and personal habits, this can be highly variable.
Books-Books, supplies & supplemental course fees can vary widely by academic program and destination.
Personal Expenses-Personal spending habits vary greatly. Students should budget for personal travel and activities, laundry and toiletry items, and other necessities.
Room & Board-Students accepted for study at Soonchunhyang are guaranteed a "Cultural Ambassador Scholarship" that includes free housing on campus with a Korean student, a partial reimbursement for airfare (app. $700) and a weekly living stipend (app. $100).
Health Insurance-Student insurance is available in Korea for about $60 for the semester. All students will also be enrolled in the University International Health Plan. This figure assumes 5 months of coverage from the University of Arkansas provider, Cultural Insurance (CISI). The study abroad office will enroll students in this plan and provide proof of coverage. All travelers should maintain their regular US coverage while abroad.
Visa-The Korean Visa fee is about $45, however, travel to the nearest Korean Consulate, or payment to a third party to assist in processing the documentation, is required to file the application.
Passport-$165 is the approximate total cost of a new passport. Immigration requirements for most study abroad destinations require that a student's passport be valid for at least 6 months AFTER the conclusion of their study abroad program. Expediting a passport application can be more expensive.
