Affordable Programs
Study abroad may be more affordable than you think.
We design study abroad programs with affordability in mind to meet the needs of all UMD students. In some cases, studying abroad for a semester costs less than a semester in College Park!
Don't forget to explore Education Abroad and National Scholarships to help offset the cost of study abroad.
