What does Study Abroad Cost?

CMC students participating in study abroad or international exchange are charged CMC tuition and the CMC Study Abroad Program Fee (a fee equal to the cost of room and board at CMC). Students are billed in the usual manner. CMC pays the academic program abroad and room and board, as well as provides each student with an airfare allowance, which is a contribution towards the cost of round-trip transportation from Los Angeles to the program site, as well as all administrative costs incurred by CMC for each semester. An allowance for local transportation and for international health insurance may also be provided.

Students studying through CMC off-campus study should expect to personally pay for passport and visa fees, cost of medical examinations and immunizations, and refundable security/damage deposits. On site, students pay for personal needs such as: books, supplies, clothing, medical charges, laundry, postage, recreation, entertainment, phone bills, snacks, and weekend or holiday travel. These costs may vary considerably from site to site, and are likely to be higher than in Claremont.
