Cost
Students participating in the Northern Ireland semester program pay Bluffton University tuition, room and board, plus a $500 program fee. This covers program expenses, including academic credit, room and board, field excursions and one week in Dublin.
The cross-cultural office will coordinate the flight arrangements; the students will be responsible for paying for them. The $500 program fee is due on November 30 for the following year's participation.
Students will continue to receive eligible financial aid just as you would if you were taking classes on Bluffton's campus. If you have already participated in a semester program through Bluffton, no institutional aid will be awarded. If you have questions regarding aid you may contact our financial aid office at finaid@bluffton.edu.
Eligibility
Undergraduate students in good standing with the university may apply. Majors from all disciplines are welcome. Students must have a GPA of 2.5 or greater to be eligible.
Application Process

At the time of application submission a $150 deposit is required. This deposit is refundable if the student is not accepted into the program. Applications are due October 31, the year prior to participating.
