Sea|mester Admissions
We understand that a Sea|mester experience is a significant expenditure, and we encourage you to consider the costs of your attendance as an investment. Not simply as part of your academic education, but in shaping the person you are.
That said, it’s important for any prospective student to fully extrapolate the total cost of their attendance prior to submitting an application.
