Compared to Regular Semester Averages
The CIMBA Italy semester cost is just slightly higher than the in-state semester average. However, the CIMBA Italy semester program is a life-changing, 12-week study abroad experience in Italy. Additionally, many students receive financial aid and/or scholarships to further offset the cost of study abroad.
