Italy Semester/Year Program

Program Cost

The tuition rates per semester for 2008-2009 are listed below:

Tuition and fees include undergraduate tuition for 12-17 credits (graduate tuition for 15 credits), a $325 program fee, and a $125 computer and technology fee.

The Italian government requires that all students purchase Italian National Health Insurance and obtain an additional seal for permission to study in the country. The Temple Rome staff will purchase the insurance and the seal for program participants; the cost ( $145 per semester in 2008-2009) is also included in the tuition and fees.  Housing charges include housing for the duration of the program.

Non-Temple Student Surcharge

Non-Temple students are charged an additional fee to cover program costs as follows: $600, Pennsylvania residents attending Pennsylvania public universities; $900, all other non-Temple students.

Additional Costs
Students should also budget additional funds for meals, transatlantic and local travel, course-related field trips and studio fees, books and equipment, additional health insurance, and personal expenses.  Although budgets vary according to individual spending habits, students on average spend about $2,000 for meals and $2,500 for additional personal expenses per semester.

Deposits

Students admitted to Temple Rome must confirm admission with a non-refundable deposit of $200 within 10 days of their acceptance into the program.  This deposit is credited towards the student's fees.  Temple University invoices students for all remaining program charges, at which point final payment must be made.  Financial aid vouchers and/or award letters are the only exceptions to this policy.  Students who have been awarded financial aid must present evidence of such awards according to the procedure outlined on page 18 of the 2008-2009 program brochure.
