Accessible education
Tuition and financial aid
The cost of your education should be simple, authentic, and transparent. That's why beginning in the 2025-26 academic year, tuition for the College of Arts & Sciences will be $25,990, down from $44,050.
This new rate pushes back on what has become a confusing industry standard—increasing list prices and providing significant tuition discounts. With a clear price, you can focus on what truly matters: your education and your future.
