Preparation

Accepted students are required to participate in a preparation course (IAS 201R, 2.0 credit hours), which is held evenings once a week (day to be determined) during Winter Semester 2027.

During this class you will begin the Marketing, Management Communication, and Information Systems courses, as well as receive general program travel preparation. You will finish these courses during your time in Europe.

Part-time BYU students and non-BYU students need to pay an additional tuition fee of approximately $728 for this prep course.

International study programs are physically, emotionally, and mentally taxing and you must be in good health to participate. These programs often take place in international locations that do not have the same level of safety and services in terms of transportation, living conditions, residential accommodations, food, public behavior, and policing that you may be used to on campus. If you have further questions or concerns on this, please see our travel policy.
