Tuition

Getting a world-class education is all about investing in yourself and your future. We’re focused on that investment, but we also understand that it can feel out of reach for many students, so we try to make it as affordable as possible.

Our goal as an institution is to manage our resources as effectively as possible, so we can pass a better value along to our students. Recent tuition increases have been held to between 5 and 7 percent — less than the majority of our peer institutions. We also offer a full range of financial aid opportunities to ensure access to a diverse population of students.
