Published tuition is $12,700, with a full cost of attendance of $25,660 a year.
A high Pell share means the university enrols many lower-income students, and usually that its net price for those families is well below the sticker price. A high loan share means the gap between aid and cost is being filled with borrowing — the repayment record shows how that works out afterwards.
Most US universities require health cover before enrolment. Tell us your dates and country and we will come back with plans that meet your university’s requirement.
