Study Abroad

Reciprocal Enrollment - This is a Reciprocal Exchange Program. This means that for semester programs room and board will be paid to the host institution but tuition, fees, and other expenses will be paid to UML. For summer or winter programs all fees will be paid to the host institution and not to UML. 

For a more comprehensive overview of the anticipated costs of this program please visit the program website. 

Tuition & fees - As this is a reciprocal exchange program, UML students will be billed UML tuition & fees to their SiS account as per usual.
