† Upon admission and receipt of a non-refundable deposit amount of $1,500, CICER will provide an official invitation letter, tips, and a checklist for Visa application. (Applicants will apply for a B1/B2 Visa if they do not yet have a valid U.S. Visa.) Applicants will be responsible for paying Visa application-related fees.

Applicants will be notified of their application results via email. Admitted applicants must accept the offer by replying to the email and pay the program fee within 15 business days after the offer letter was sent. Failure to do so will be considered a decline to the offer, and other applicants will be given the available spots instead.

* If you already have a U.S. Visa, we may accept your application after the deadline.

Considering the long wait time for a visa interview appointment at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate, if you’re interested in our program, we encourage you to apply sooner than later.

Course fees: $3,600

Other fees: $2,700, which includes accommodation at Cornell housing, hotel stay, some meals, entrance fees to places of interests, limited health insurance, and transportation fees for CICER-organized events.

Note: international and other travel costs are not included.
