Note that billable expenses, like tuition and fees, and discretionary expenses, like transportation and miscellaneous personal costs, are subject to change and are listed here for the 2025-26 academic year. Some costs, like housing and food for students living off-campus, are provided for illustrative purposes and may not apply to each student. Visit the ³ûÖÊÓƵ Office of Financial Aid page for additional details or questions about paying for school.
So how much does an ³ûÖÊÓƵ education cost? Thanks to generous scholarships and grants that a majority of students receive, it may be less than you think!
