Estimated Cost of Attendance
2012-13 Estimated Budget for Full-time Students
The amounts listed below are standard figures used for budgeting purposes and eligibility for need-based financial aid for the academic year. Your actual bill will differ from these estimations — they are provided for planning purposes.

Books and supplies, transportation and personal costs will vary for each student and are estimates only.
