While cost is a common barrier, the cost of studying abroad typically falls between the full cost of attending Nebraska as a resident vs. a 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, the Czech Republic (aka Czechia), Germany, Mexico, Japan, Germany, South Korea, and Thailand.
