Costs

Program costs listed in the following section are charged in addition to regular St. Olaf tuition. The costs listed are estimates and include round-trip transportation from Minneapolis (except where indicated), prorating of instructor’s expenses, breakfast and one other meal per day, transportation for required study trips, entrance fees and tickets for scheduled group events and accommodations, most often based on two and three persons sharing a room. Private baths are usually not provided.
           
Note: All costs listed are the most accurate estimates possible. They are subject to change due to airline taxes and fuel surcharges, the rate of inflation and the fluctuating rate of exchange. These factors might also necessitate the cancellation of a course if enrollment is not sufficient. If it is necessary to update costs one way or the other, information will be provided in the fall.
