Immersions

Students are required to attend two immersions to complete the program. Each immersion is one credit hour and is billed at the credit-hour rate for the relevant term. In addition to tuition charges for the immersion credits, students are responsible for costs associated with travel, meals, and lodging.

Health Insurance

Fordham University requires that all students carry health insurance, either through the university or an alternative provider. You will be automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) unless you demonstrate that you have other coverage and request to waive coverage under the SHIP program. Detailed information on this Student Health Insurance Plan requirement, including costs, may be found online here.

Financial Aid
