Students are highly encouraged to purchase a Eurail passes to reduce the costs of train travel throughout the program. The arrangement and purchase of the Eurail pass is the student s own responsibility. Compared with the normal University tuition, the price of these seven university credits is extremely reasonable. The Department hopes that by holding costs down it can make this intensive learning experience abroad accessible to as many students as possible. There are also limited scholarship funds available to qualified students with financial need.
Students are responsible for making their own travel arrangements to and from Paris.
The Department will work with a travel agent in St. Louis to arrange flights to Paris from two or three major cities on Tuesday, May 15. Students will all be routed through one of these cities.
