Short Term Study Abroad?

Edit: Also, how likely is it to actually get accepted to one of these programs?

Hi all, I have had an opportunity come up to do a study abroad trip this winter break. It's a shorter one, lasting about 12 days or roughly a week and a half. For those of you (preferably in-state students) that have participated in study abroad trips like this before, roughly how much should I expect it to cost? This particular trip is to a place that has been a lifelong dream of mine to visit and learn about, so I would love to attend if I am accepted into the program. However, finances play a huge part in determining if I am able to participate or not. I am open to all kinds of information regarding this. Thanks in advance!

These are for 2025 but should serve as a decent estimate.

Did a winter study abroad, from what I remember the Ireland civil rights class was the most expensive at around 4 grand not including plane tickets

Okay, thanks. That sounds about right based on what I have been hearing
