Study in Hungary
The Basics...
Experience for yourself the rich past, present,
and future in one of the European Union's youngest member
states. The Center for International Studies (CIS) offers
Tulane Study Abroad Programs (TSAP) in a range of disciplines
in the dynamic capital city Hungary. All
courses are taught in English:

Courses, grades, and credits travel back with
you to Tulane when you participate in a CIS study abroad
program. Talk with a study abroad advisor and your major
department to find out which one might be the best fit for
your academic requirements, career plans, and personal
interests.
When Can I Go?
Academic calendars in Hungary vary from year to year
following this rough schedule:

Spring Semester

|
Budapest |
August - December
|
January - May
|
Exact dates will be provided by CIEE during the semester
before your departure.
Where Will I Live?
Students on TSAPs in Hungary make arrangements for their
housing with CIEE. In Budapest students generally share
apartments after leaving their orientation
housing in the university’s dormitory.
What Are The Costs?
Studying abroad is affordable. Costs vary by program and
student lifestyle. Because students on TSAPs pay Tulane
University tuition for their studies abroad, most Tulane and
federal financial aid applies. Below is an average of the
per-semester cost for the 2005-06 year to
help you with your budgeting:

Tuition~ + Academic Fees
|
Living

Total Estimated Semester Cost
|
|
Budapest |
$16,075 |
$5,425 |
$21,500 |
~ This includes the cost of Tulane tuition and the required
Academic Support Service Fee. The cost of tuition for 2006-07
has yet to be determined. Students are billed through Tulane
for tuition and the Academic Support Service Fee, as well as
the required International Evacuation Insurance. Students pay
all other costs, including housing, directly as they
occur.
* Living costs vary widely and include housing, meals,
books, round-trip airfare from New Orleans, health and
evacuation insurance, passport, visa, and personal expenses.
They do not include vacation travel.

been on disciplinary or honor board probation are
not eligible to apply.
How Do I Apply?
Begin the process well in advance of the year or semester
you plan to study abroad. Deadlines vary depending on the host
institution’s deadlines and admissions policies. Start with
the submission of your online TSAP
application:

Some programs fill up before the deadline so you are
strongly advised to submit your application early to increase
your chances of being accepted.
A complete application includes a statement of purpose, two
letters of recommendation from Tulane
faculty, one photo and a $50 non-refundable deposit.
Late or incomplete applications will be
rejected.
Upon conditional acceptance from the CIS, you will submit
an application to the host program abroad. Final
acceptance to study abroad is contingent upon this
application and your ability to maintain the above eligibility
requirements through the semester before departure.
