Undergraduate Tuition and Fees

Education is an investment in your future. It should be easy to know the cost of that investment, so we’ve simplified undergraduate tuition and fees. Students pay for their tuition, room and board, and a comprehensive fee. We don’t call it comprehensive for nothing—it not only includes all required textbooks and course material rentals, but also full access to student life resources.

calculatorDetermine Your Estimated Cost

The Net Price Calculator is part of a carefully designed program that can help you estimate your financial aid options. The average time to complete a full estimate is 3–5 minutes. If you have already filed your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you will need your Estimated Family Contribution. Students interested in Fall 2022 enrollment may complete the FAFSA as early as October 1, referencing their family's 2020 U.S. income tax information to ensure an accurate estimate of your cost of attendance. Students looking for Spring 2022 enrollment that have not filed a FAFSA should reference their family's 2019 U.S. income tax information.
