Fees & Tuition
Course fees vary depending on the semester. Please email ycmes@ycmes.org
Course Credits
- Seminars: Each seminar offers 4 course credits or the equivalent of 50 contact hours.
- Arabic instruction: The expectation is that students will take Arabic language courses from the PAL alongside their PCMES studies, as we believe that Arabic language is a vital aspect of understanding the region’s culture.
Refund Policy
Class avaliability is based on minimum enrollment (5 students). If for any reason PCMES classes are canceled, all tuition paid for PCMES classes will be refunded in full.
The housing deposit and any tuition paid, minus the $200/ €200 program deposit, will be returned to any student terminating their program prior to arriving in Yemen, UNLESS tickets and visa have been purchased. Tickets and visa are non-refundable. If a student chooses to terminate their program after arriving in Yemen, two weeks written notice is required. The terminating student will receive a 50% refund on the tuition, housing and meals remaining after the two-week notice period. Any additional airfare resulting from the early termination will be the responsibility of the student.
