Applies to Duke-Approved and Petition Semester Programs
Students on Duke-Approved and Petition semester programs pay tuition and fees of the host institution plus Duke’s study abroad fee per semester.
CURRENT FEE
The fee is $4,580 per semester. This fee has not been raised since 2013.
Who is charged the Study Abroad Fee?
Duke University will charge the Study Abroad Fee to all students participating in semester or yearlong Duke-Approved and petition programs.
What does the Study Abroad Fee cover?
Even though you are not physically at Duke when you study away, you are still considered a Duke student on study away status, which allows you to retain the right of access to Duke libraries, information technology, financial aid, student services, career services, and academic advising. You are supported by your academic dean and members of the faculty. Duke students participating in Duke-Approved programs and petitions are also covered by Duke’s International SOS for travel assistance and medical evacuation services.
Can the Study Abroad Fee be waived?
No. The Study Abroad Fee is mandatory. Fees are set by the Board of Trustees and are not waived under any circumstances.
