Cost of Attendance

Each year, the Office of Student Financial Planning prepares a nine-month student expense budget defining standard allowances for education costs of professional/graduate students. Tuition and other budget figures for the 2012-2013 academic year are listed below. 2013-2014 tuition has not yet been determined.

	New York State Resident	Non-New York State Resident
Tuition and Fees	$29,400	$44,250
Room and Board	8,600	8,600
Books and Supplies	1,000	1,000
Personal Expenses	7,600	7,600
Total Standard Budget	$46,600	$61,450

Tuition and Fees
The tuition rate is determined every year in the spring preceding the start of the academic year.

Room and Board
The room and board allowance should permit a student comfortable, but modest, housing and a balanced diet. Students are expected to share housing with at least one other student and to develop other money-saving techniques (such as eating in rather than dining in restaurants and sending emails or writing letters instead of making long-distance phone calls) in order to live within this allowance.

Books and Supplies
The allowance for books and supplies is sufficient for the purchase of all required books and supplies.

Personal Expenses
The personal allowance covers necessary living expenses other than room and board, which are related to being a student. Among these may be routine costs of transportation to and from campus (including parking fees), basic telephone service, and health insurance.

 

Note:
Financial aid recipients are expected to budget their money and keep accurate records of monthly expenditures. To justify requests for supplemental relief in unusual circumstances, copies of those records are likely to be required for the financial aid files. Assistance in developing sound budgeting techniques is available upon request.
