Program Fees and Dates

Our programs are famously comprehensive and are an excellent value. Though many of our programs incorporate some of the most extensive travel and excursions of any study abroad programs, our fees are often similar to or lower than the fees of programs that just provide tuition and housing.

Airfare to Shanghai

Airfare from the United States to Shanghai can range between $800 and $1700 depending on the season, starting point, and how far in advance the ticket was purchased. Shanghai is a very well-served destination in terms of airline flights from the United States and students who book their ticket early should be able to find a relatively large set of options.

We suggest a flight day for admitted students a few months before the program start date and recommend that students arrive within a several hour period. Students who arrive on the designated day will be met at the airport by one of our representatives and will have complimentary transfer from the airport to central Shanghai.

Students can make travel arrangements to arrive on alternate dates or flights. Students who arrive on an alternate date will have to take a taxi to the student apartments.
