Prior to your KIIS program, please speak with your home campus academic advisor and/or study abroad office to determine course equivalencies.

Although KIIS tries to foresee all possible expenses in formulating program fees, please note that dramatic fluctuations in foreign currency valuations and/or airline surcharges may affect the total cost of the program.
