The Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of the total amount of your educational expenses for one full academic year. This information is provided to give you a starting point for planning your budget beyond just 学费 and 费用.
The way we calculate the University’s Cost of Attendance is set forth in standards from the US Department of Education and, because every College and University in the United States that participates in federal financial aid programs must use the same methodology, it can be an excellent way to directly compare schools as you progress through your college search.
The Cost of Attendance includes estimated costs for:
- 学费 and fees
- 书 and other course materials
- 住房 (whether on campus, with your parents or renting an apartment)
- 餐 (whether through a meal plan or independently)
- Transportation (both for commuters and for resident students who travel home on breaks)
- Other miscellaneous costs associated with obtaining a degree
The numbers on this page are an estimate of an example student’s expected costs for one year – your expenses may be higher or lower upon enrollment. If you apply for financial aid, our Financial Aid Office will provide for you a personalized Cost of Attendance to ensure that your aid package meets your specific needs.
