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 such as health and counseling services, safety and police, network and technology, and campus shuttles and transportation.

Estimate of Total Costs
Financial Aid is calculated by considering all the expenses a student will have including tuition, fees, housing, food, travel to campus, and personal necessities. All these expenses totaled equal the student's "cost of attendance" budget, which determines the maximum amount of aid a student may receive.

Determine 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 2024 enrollment may complete the FAFSA as early as January 1, referencing their family's 2022 U.S. income tax information to ensure an accurate estimate of your cost of attendance. Students looking for Spring 2025 enrollment that have not filed a FAFSA should reference their family's 2022 U.S. income tax information.
