15 Appendix Cost of study at UA Tucson

16 Appendix UA Total Cost Estimates for study in Italy

17 Appendix Cost University of Arizona resident and non-resident tuition and expenses in Tucson ( 1 Semester at UA (resident) = $ 12,372 1 Semester at UA (non-resident) = $ 20,462 The University of Arizona estimates the all-inclusive cost of a semester during the 2012/2013 school year for a resident student living in U of A housing at $12,372 (totals derived by dividing in half the estimated cost for the whole school year). For the Spring 2013 semester in Orvieto, the all-things-considered cost is estimated at $15,980. A semester in Orvieto, therefore, amounts to $3608 more than a semester in Tucson. Consider that the cost of a vacation to Italy for a week or two could easily eclipse that amount and that the additional cost secures a semester-length experience of a lifetime in Italy. Students paying out of state tuition would actually save money by studying in Orvieto, because study abroad tuition is the same for all students!
