How To Apply
Application (submit in Fall, if possible)
Process, fees, timeline
Applications are being accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis starting Fall semester. The goal is to have a full group by the beginning Spring semester. IMPORTANT: This is actually before the Education Abroad Office's Feb 15 application deadline.
Submit application online. By submitting an application for an education abroad program, your MSU Student Account will be billed a $100 application deposit for each application. You may withdraw from your program at any point and for any reason prior to your acceptance into the program with no financial penalty. The $100 application deposit will be refunded back to your MSU Student Account.
Commit. Once you are accepted into your program you will have two weeks from the date of your acceptance letter to commit to your participation. When you commit, you will be billed an additional $200 commitment deposit to your MSU Student Account. The $200 commitment deposit is non-refundable at this point.
Program fee. Billed early April.
Tuition for Program Credits. The tuition for the number of credits you plan to take on your program will be billed separately from your education abroad program fee. Keep in mind, some education abroad programs are full academic semesters and some are short-term embedded within a semester (spring and winter break programs). These programs use MSU's Flat-Rate Tuition for the billing of education abroad credits. Almost all of our summer education abroad programs fall under 12 credits, meaning you would pay per credit hour for the tuition on your program. For additional assistance on understanding Flat-Rate Tuition and your current tuition rate at MSU, we encourage you to contact the Office of Financial Aid.
