Undergraduate Costs
Calculate your estimated costs below:
To use the net price calculator, you must first estimate the total dollars you might receive in both scholarships and financial aid. The net price tool starts by showing you the estimated cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, room and board, books and other estimated costs. From there, the calculator will take any estimated scholarship dollars and financial assistance. That's how you'll get an estimate (not official cost) of what you can expect to pay for the upcoming school year.
Note: While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the Net Price Calculator, please keep in mind that this estimate does not represent a final determination or actual award of financial assistance. It shall not be binding on the Secretary or Education, 91³Ô¹ÏÍø, or the State, and may change. You must complete the FASA in order to be eligible for, and receive, an actual financial aid award that includes a federal grant, loan, or work-study assistance under Title IV.
