Travel abroad will never be as cost-effective as it is during college!
Travel study is perceived as expensive, but the truth is that it is one of the greatest values of being a college student. A tour to Europe, for instance, can cost $3,000-$10,000 for two weeks if you plan it yourself or take a organized tour. At Piedmont, you get the benefit of expert faculty that you know guiding you AND you get 2 courses worth of academic credit during the same two weeks.
Piedmont Faculty-Led Courses
Cost is $500 more than taking the same classes on campus. Cost includes flights, accommodations, and excursions.
Piedmont Semester Abroad
Cost is the same as taking classes on campus. Tuition, room, and board are covered at most locations and students are responsible for their own flight and living expenses.
