Program Costs and Fees

Tuition and fees listed are for Loyola University Chicago students attending a semester program in Ho Chi Minh City.

If you are joining the Vietnam Center program from another university, you need to coordinate with your study abroad staff to discuss costs, billing, and how financial aid transfers.
