Students enroll in catalog courses, pay Texas Tech tuition and fees, and an additional program fee to participate in these programs, said Cindy Akers, CASNR's Associate Dean for Academic and Student Programs. The program fee often covers room, board, excursions, and professor expenses; what the program fee includes depends on the program. Airfare is usually an additional cost, depending on the program.
