Costs

If you choose an exchange-based study abroad program, you will pay normal tuition, fees, insurance and in some cases your accommodation charges to ECSU.  Other programs may require payment of tuition,  fees, and/or housing directly to the University abroad.

Meal plans are not common at campuses overseas, but residence hall accommodations are often equipped with  kitchens shared by several  students. Otherwise,  meals  are  available at a  University cafeteria on a pay-as-you go basis.

Arrangements for air transportation are the responsibility for each student.  In all cases, the Study Abroad Coordinator can provide cost information for your specific program.

Financial Aid

Most  forms  of  financial  aid  can  be  continued   while   studying   abroad  since   your  student   status  is maintained.  Plus, studying abroad may make you eligible for certain low-interest student loans.  If  you are planning to apply for any form of financial aid, you must do so several  months in advance of your  program start date.

Academic Credit

All  courses  taken  abroad on an  Eastern  program can be  treated  exactly as  ECSU  coursework and will apply towards graduation requirements as major, minor and general education credits.

All   students  should  meet  with  the  Study  Abroad  Coordinator to discuss  the  academic  system at their chosen  University  overseas.  Your  Academic  Advisor  can  advise  you  further  on  your  specific degree requirements and approve the credit transfer for your planned studies - before you even study abroad!
