What does this tool do?
Tuition is usually quoted per credit or per year, which makes a multi-year total hard to see. This calculator multiplies per-credit tuition by annual credits and adds recurring fees to estimate the full programme cost.
The Formula
Total = Cost per credit × Credits per year × Years + Annual fees × YearsFrequently Asked Questions
Does tuition cost include housing and food?
No. This calculator covers tuition and mandatory fees only. Add room, board, books, insurance and travel separately for a full cost-of-attendance figure.
How do annual tuition increases affect the total?
They can raise the total noticeably because each year is charged at a different rate. This model holds the per-credit price constant, so treat the result as a lower-bound estimate.
