Financial Information and Student Expenses

Applicants must provide verification of the availability of at least $25,056 for one academic year (9 months) of study.

• *Tuition and Fees: $10,000

• Books and Insurance: $2056 for two semesters

• Housing/Personal/Food: $13,000 for two semesters (9 months)

*Tuition estimates are based on a minimum of 12 units per semester. Tuition and fees will increase if students enroll in more than 12 units.

The above expenses are an estimate only. Expenses will vary depending on the housing arrangements of each student and his/her personal expenses. Student athletes are often required to take more than 12 units to maintain eligibility to play their sport so that's something for international student athletes to consider as well. If a spouse or child will be joining you, you will need to provide verification of an additional $4000 per dependent.
