Program Costs

The University Financial Aid Office uses the following figures to determine the maximum loan amount available to qualified student-borrowers attending the program. With the exception of tuition and fees, these figures are estimates. Students are responsible for their housing, transportation, and other personal expenses, and these figures represent a total amount that would comfortably allow any student to pay tuition and personal expenses while attending the program.

After tuition and fees, the expenses each student incurs will vary to some extent. For example, housing expenses can vary widely due to location, roommates, amenities and the timing of the reservation. Although the figures below provide some guidance for a total "budget" that would comfortably allow any student to attend, there are many opportunities for each student to keep their total personal expenses substantially below the estimated amount. Admitted applicants are offered specific information helpful to controlling personal expenses and limiting borrowing during the program.
