Health Insurance
Students participating in any of our education abroad programs are automatically enrolled in a comprehensive health insurance policy through Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions. This insurance is mandatory.
BCBS Global Solutions covers a wide range of conditions and events and specializes in providing health insurance to both international students studying in the United States and U.S. students studying abroad. BCBS Global Solutions' website provides extensive information about the insurance program and its benefits.
The cost of the insurance coverage is included in the program fee; however, students may elect to extend coverage or enroll for additional days beyond the length of their program dates at their own expense.
