#These fees cover students’ ground transportation, admissions fees, and various other trip expenses.  The fees published here are approximations, based on previous trips.  Actual fees may be slightly or substantially higher, depending on the strength of the dollar against foreign currencies. It’s very hard to predict prices two years ahead.

Note: Any course may be cancelled at the director’s discretion if it is under-enrolled.
