The Cost of Attendance (COA) figures listed on this page represent the estimated total cost before any financial aid is applied. It’s important to note that while tuition, fees, and books are direct costs paid to the university, the remaining components — such as housing, transportation, and personal expenses — are estimates of everyday living costs you may already be managing. Most students do not pay the full COA — grants, scholarships, and loans can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. We encourage you to complete the FAFSA or WASFA and explore all available aid options to determine your actual net cost of attendance.
