Estimated Costs of Attendance
The estimated cost of attendance (COA) for the academic year (fall and spring semesters) will vary according to a student’s enrollment status and the student's living arrangements (on-campus, with parents, or off-campus). The estimated COA, excluding tuition and fees, for resident students living off-campus during the 2024-2025 academic year is $30,236. This amount has been budgeted for books/supplies, room, board, travel expenses, and miscellaneous personal expenses.
