The following are our estimated expenses for those who need to apply for a F-1 student visa. The exact amount you will pay depends on your major, where you decide to live, the meal plan you choose, and your overall lifestyle. These students must affirm the ability to cover the first year of study, through financial documentation for the estimated total, before the university can issue a Certificate of Visa Eligibility (Form I-20 or DS-2019).
Degree Program | Tuition & Fees | Living Expenses | Estimated Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate | $33,800 | $22,300 | $56,100 |
