* Participation in Conservation Leadership Through Learning requires the participation in the Conservation Leadership Study Abroad program (organized through CSU's office of International Programs), which is an integrated field learning lab that begins in Colorado and includes a 7-month international component. Students make 2 deposits, one in the first Fall and Spring.  Final payment for the study abroad program is assessed during the summer when students head abroad.  See ** below for more information about the different costs across study abroad locations.  

** Actual cost of the study abroad portion is dependent on the location.  Total study abroad payment is based on 2 deposits and a final payment.  The sum of those three line items aboves represents the full study abroad cost for a given location.  Below is an estimate of the total cost of the different study abroad locations:
     Kenya: $10-11k, Montenegro: $10-11k, Peru: $9-10k, Belize: $10-11k, New Zealand: $17-18k, Bahamas: $12-13k, and Colorado: $8-9k.  Locations will be selected based on student interest for those locations as expressed in the application form.

Living costs in Colorado and in the international field site are additional. International health insurance, international travel, books, and other incidentals are not included.  Please visit CSU's graduate school website for additional information and estimates for living costs.
