How to Calculate Your Costs

TUITION & FEES*

To calculate your cost for tuition and fees, choose your residency status and multiply by the number of credit hours you are planning to take.

*Please note that you are considered a full-time student if you are enrolled in at least 12 credit hours per semester. However, to graduate in four semesters, we recommend that you enroll in 15 or 16 credit hours per semester. A minimum of 12 credit hours are required to qualify for some scholarships and to live in our residence halls. Federal financial aid is prorated based on enrollment and eligibility.

BOOKS

The costs of books can vary depending on the classes you take. For estimating, add $500 per semester.

HOUSING

The average cost for on-campus residence halls is $7,800 per year, which includes 19 meals per week.
