Fees are estimated based upon the $25 per credit comprehensive fee, and one course per semester that has a $110 academic instruction fee (see Fees for more info).

Direct Costs are estimated, and will appear directly on a tuition bill.

Indirect Costs are estimated, and will not appear on a tuition bill, but are costs that students will likely incur.
