Keep in mind that there is an administrative fee payable to GMU whether you apply to a GMU or non-GMU program. As a GMU student, you can study abroad on one of our direct exchange programs and pay your regular GMU tuition plus room and board to the host university and your International airfare. Direct exchange locations include Australia, Chile, England, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Malta, Netherlands, Sweden, Spain and South Africa. We also offer four special semester programs in Sevilla, Spain, Cork, Ireland, Florence, Italy and Paris, France which are reasonably priced and complement our selection of direct exchange programs. Costs vary here also depending on the length and nature of the study tour.
Costs vary by program depending on sponsoring institutions, what is included and length of program.
You do not pay GMU tuition when you participate on a non-GMU program. Most financial aid can be applied to programs sponsored by US accredited institutions including GMU's programs. Make sure you speak with a Financial Aid counsellor early in the game to give yourself enough time for the aid to be processed. However, there are many outside sources for study abroad scholarships which we encourage you to research in our Resource Library located in the Johnson Center room 235. George Mason University requires the Center for Global Education to charge an administrative fee for its services.
