Summer is a popular time to study abroad. While cost is a common barrier, the cost of studying abroad typically falls between the full cost of attending Nebraska as a resident vs. non-resident student.
Program type, length, and location are key factors. If you are flexible on these, you can find some great deals!
• If your priority is finding a low total cost, then a shorter program during winter, spring break, or summer is recommended. If your priority is finding the best value, then a longer program over a full summer or semester is recommended.
• Daily living costs vary significantly. Some affordable destinations include Costa Rica, Czech Republic (aka Czechia), Germany, Mexico, and Thailand.
This page highlights Summer 2026 programs with a low total cost (at/under $7,000) including ALL expenses: tuition/fees, lodging, meals, airfare, insurance, etc.
More options will be added as program costs are confirmed!
