Semester Abroad Payment Policy

Endicott believes that study abroad is an extremely beneficial experience for students’ personal, academic and professional development.  As a result, we have developed a billing model to keep the cost of a semester abroad comparable to spending a semester on campus in Beverly.

Depending on our partner, the exchange rate, services provided and/or the cost of living of the destination, study abroad program fees vary significantly.  To keep things simple for Endicott students, we have developed two distinct billing models, designated as “GREEN” or “BLUE” (demonstrating our school pride, of course).  Please contact the Office of Undergraduate International Programs to determine if your program is “Green” or “Blue.”

Green programs are defined as programs whose tuition is at least $2000 less than Endicott College's tuition.

Blue programs are defined as programs whose tuition is within $2000 of, equal to, or greater than Endicott College's tuition.
