The total program cost is $900 including tuition, housing, 2 meals daily, and excursions. Airfare is additional and estimated to about $800. UMass students have a choice to study at one of five universities with other international students, including Frankfurt University and University of Kassel.

Engineering, History & Cultural Studies, Political Science, Business, Sociology.
