Students who have particular health or medical requirements are encouraged to discuss them with us in advance so that we can determine whether appropriate resources are available in Dakar. Please see program handbook for further details. Five-College students should have completed the equivalent of five or six semesters of French. Students who do not expect to meet this requirement are strongly encouraged to consult with the French Department or International Affairs Office to discuss whether an exception might be warranted. Return to Top Menu FEES Fees for the following academic year will be announced in the spring.
Students are also responsible for their own airfare and travel arrangements.
Students who plan to do additional traveling will need to budget more. Eligible students may expect to use appropriate state and federal financial aid, as well as other outside resources, to participate in the program. We are happy to review late applications on a space-available basis, but encourage students to apply by the deadlines to ensure that they will be considered.
