Insurance Information

It is strongly recommend that all students participating on an international off-campus program carry international medical and evacuation insurance coverage in addition to their domestic health insurance plan.

Two widely used providers are:
Cultural Insurance Services International
HTH Worldwide

It is also recommended that at least one parent/guardian obtain a passport so that travel will not be unduly delayed in the case of a medical or personal emergency.
