Tuition and Aid

We have ways of helping you pay.

Note: These rates reflect the pricing for students starting in the 2020–2021 academic year and are subject to change for upcoming terms. These rates do not include student health insurance of $1,114 per semester. This is a mandatory fee for students who do not otherwise have coverage. Students interested in Computer Science, Engineering and Nursing majors will have a higher per-hour and full-time tuition rate. Check out the Planning and Cost Estimator.
