Estimated Cost of Attendance

ESTIMATED COST OF ATTENDANCE
Based on an academic year (August to December and January to June)

* This is the price for a bus/trolley pass for two semesters. If you purchase your own car, plan to spend at least $1,000 for car insurance and at least $2,000 for gas and maintenance per academic year in addition to the purchase price of the vehicle.
** This fee does not include comprehensive health insurance coverage. We strongly encourage international students to purchase health insurance designed specifically for international students. Minimum cost for one year’s coverage by a U.S. health insurance company is $515.
