Financial Assistance is awarded to cover educational costs within a specific academic year. The following provides estimated costs for new undergraduate students for the 2021-2022 academic year. Estimated costs vary by location and program. The cost of attendance includes tuition, fees, books, supplies and an allowance for personal and living expenses.
