THE FINANCIAL PICTURE

Know what the total includes

Published cost estimate

Published full-program tuition and mandatory fees
Tuition$111,734
Required program fees$0
Tuition + required feesFull attendance estimate not recorded
$111,734

The official entire-program figure is $111,734 for tuition and mandatory fees across seven semesters. The program publishes the combined direct total rather than a separate current tuition-only amount, so $111,734 is used for comparison with that qualification.

Plan for the application, too.

Keep application fees separate from the cost of attending.
