2025-2026 Tuition & Fees

Tuition and fees are due at the start of each term. All fees are frontloaded; meaning fees are applied in the fall term of each year. Spring term charges consist of the second half of tuition and health insurance, if applicable. The College reserves the right to change tuition, fees, and other charges without advance notice and to make such changes applicable to present as well as future students.

Matriculation Fee: $1,000

The Cost of Education

The Cost of Education (COE) is the amount it will cost a student to go to school. The COE budget is calculated to show the total cost for the school year (i.e. the fall and spring terms). Programs that last a different period of time, (for instance, a 9-, 10-, 11-, or 12-month academic year) might show a COE that covers a time period other than a standard academic year.
The COE is the estimate of:

  • Tuition and fees;
  • Books, course materials, supplies, and equipment;
  • Cost of housing and food (or living expenses);
  • Transportation expenses;
  • Loan fees (excluding any loan fees for non-federal student loans);
  • Miscellaneous expenses (including a reasonable amount for the documented cost of a personal computer); and
  • Costs of obtaining a license, certification, or first professional credential
