Things to Consider

Before jumping in to explore study abroad, take some time to consider how the following factors/priorities might influence your program choice: cost, mental and physical health, level of cultural immersion, location, length of time, coursework available, etc. The RIT Study Abroad Blueprint will help you determine your goals and priorities.

Cost and Aid

Often students assume that studying abroad is cost-prohibitive or is more expensive than studying at RIT. However, study abroad program costs vary dramatically by the program due to length, number of courses, location, etc. As a part of your application process, the Education Abroad office will provide you with a detailed budget worksheet outlining the actual and estimated out-of-pocket costs of studying abroad for your chosen program.
