Tuition & Fees

All academic year courses are regular Ohio State courses that are covered by regular tuition and fees. Please note that once combined Bachelor’s/Master’s degree students are admitted to the graduate school, they are charged at a higher rate. Current figures can be found at the following websites:

  1. Undergraduate students pursuing Flagship Certification
  2. Combined degree students who have been admitted to the Graduate School
  3. Adult college graduates taking OSU Chinese language courses in preparation for application to the Flagship M.A. program.

The cost of the required capstone year in China varies from year to year and from student to student, but consists of the following:

  1. International and domestic transportation
  2. Meals; can be $10/day for local food & drink, less if you cook for yourself.
  3. Tuition & housing for summer at China Ocean University; about $600 in 2009.
  4. Internship room & board; costs depend on what compensation is provided by the internship host as well as cost of living at the internship location. Remuneration ranges from nothing to a comfortable salary.
  5. Tuition & housing for semester at Nanjing University; about $1600 in 2009.
    *** The capstone year in China is a “year off” from Ohio State. Therefore, there are no OSU fee or tuition costs during that time. Students who wish to transfer credits accrued in China back to OSU will need to pay OSU in addition to the above-mentioned figures.
