Bhutan

The Centre-in-Bhutan program is an exchange with the Royal Thimphu College. Bhutan is a small landlocked country in South Asia, best known for coining the term “Gross National Happiness”. Thimphu is the capital city home to 100,000 inhabitants, including the royal family. The juxtaposition of ancient tradition and modernity make Thimphu the ideal location for students to immerse themselves in contemporary Bhutanese lifestyle.

Dates

Students will generally begin their experience in Bhutan in late July through early December.

Cost

The same as studying in Danville, plus a $375 deposit (surcharge/emergency fund/carbon offset) and a $25 travel medicine fee due 29 March 2023. Flights to the abroad site are also the responsibility of the student. All pre-departure meetings, including the travel medicine meeting held each semester, are mandatory. If you have significant financial need, you may also qualify for additional funding from the Center for Global Citizenship.

Centre students will continue to pay their Centre tuition for their term abroad but will not be charged for room-and-board for that term; they will use their room-and-board money to help cover the cost of their airfare and the rental of an apartment.
