Cost of Attendance for Graduate Students 2027-2028

The Cost of Attendance (COA) provides an estimate of educational expenses and sets the limit for the maximum amount of financial aid that can be received. The COA represents the sum of estimated directly billed charges and allowances for indirect educational expenses.

  • Directly billed charges include: tuition, fees, housing and food if on campus.
  • Indirect educational allowances include: books, course materials, supplies, and equipment, transportation costs, miscellaneous personal expenses, and living expenses for students not in University housing.

The COA is the maximum total of all forms of financial aid (including educational loans) that may be used for the fall and spring semesters.

Items listed below are the COA components outside of tuition. Please use tuition for your individual program in addition to these components to estimate your cost of attendance.
