THE FINANCIAL PICTURE

Know what the total includes

Published cost estimate

Published full-program tuition and fees
Tuition$122,735
Required program fees$0
Tuition + required feesFull attendance estimate not recorded
$122,735

The published exact full-program tuition-and-fee total is $122,735. The program publishes the combined direct amount rather than a separate current tuition-only figure, so $122,735 is used for comparison with that qualification.

Plan for the application, too.

Keep application fees separate from the cost of attending.
