*The 'Program Subsidy' is the investment in international travel for T&M students made by the Hoeft Technology and Management Program endowment and our corporate sponsors. The program allocates a significant portion of our budget to offset student costs for these critical professional and personal development experiences. Students are responsible for the 'Student Cost' fees that will be assessed in the form of a program fee charged by the university. The T&M program covers the cost of airfare for most international immersion trips. Students participating in the International Business Plan Competition are responsible for purchasing thier own airfare because they start from and return to different destinations all over the world. As a result, the overall student cost could vary for this specific program.
