Eligibility
Students in the Architecture major who have completed one full academic year of university level work with at least a 3.0 GPA are eligible.
Academic Credit
Credit will be awarded at MSU for all courses taken and passed at Yonsei University. The student's academic advisor at MSU, in consultation with the Office of International Programs will determine how these credits will apply to degree course requirements. However, successful study at Yonsei satisfies MSU's Multicultural/Global core curriculum requirement. Students are urged to work closely with their advisor and the Office of International Programs prior to departure to plan a course of studies which will maintain steady progress toward their degree.
Location
Yonsei University has a 250-acre campus in the lovely wooded hills of western Seoul, 20 minutes from downtown by bus or subway. Seoul offers museums, palaces, libraries, theatres, and department stores. Yonsei University's location provides a particularly advantageous position from which to study the changing culture, economics, and politics of the East Asian region.
Cost and Included Benefits
Students who receive exchange placements at Yonsei University will pay tuition at MSU in the same amount as if studying in Bozeman. Students who are not awarded exchange placements will need to pay the "study abroad" fee to attend Yonsei. (Visit the International Opportunities Resource Center for more information about this fee). Students will be housed in double-occupancy rooms at the International House with a stipend for meals. Remember to plan for extra expenses such as internal travel and personal spending money as well as for unexpected changes in the exchange rate.
Financial Aid
Financial aid may be available for study abroad at Yonsei University. Additional costs for study at Yonsei (e.g. travel to and from study site) may be used in calculating students' financial aid package.
