How much does the program cost?
The program fee for the 2025 study tour is yet to be finalized. In 2024, the program fee was $2,400, which included airfare (US to Geneva round-trip), lodging in Geneva, travel within Geneva, and round-trip train fare from Geneva to Konstanz, Germany. Other expenses— food, entertainment, gifts, etc.—were the student's responsibility.
You may be able to obtain funding to cover part of the cost of the program. Let's talk soon.
