$15,000–$20,000
Pacific Discovery publishes a rate of roughly $1,500-$2,000 PER WEEK; the $15,000-$20,000 range shown here is that weekly rate applied to a typical 10-week semester and is DERIVED, not a quoted per-program price. Confirm the exact figure for your specific route on their availability page, which was not machine-readable at time of research. Tuition covers accommodation, meals, activities, staffing and pre-departure support. EXCLUDES flights: Pacific Discovery tells students to budget an additional $800-$2,500 for return airfare depending on departure city. Also excludes visa fees and personal spending. Payment schedule: 50% of tuition due within 30 days of acceptance, balance due 20 June for fall programs and 15 November for spring programs. Limited scholarships are advertised; amounts are not published. Treat this as close to full-pay.
