Program details to confirm
Full-time students take four daily classes. Mandatory health insurance, health- and recreation-center fees, books, housing and meals are separate. The academic-year funding estimate on the same page is labeled 2025-2026 and is not treated as a current tuition total. A $500 program deposit is required after an F-1 visa is received and is not added to tuition here because the page does not say it is an extra charge.
