Institutional Fees (technology, digital library, student activities) are $1,200. Final billing depends on credit load, applicable waivers, and the official student handbook.

Further details are contained in the official student handbook

The books and materials cost is an approximate, paid separately by the student per course item.
The actual tuition will depend on the total number of credit hours for the semester, which is usually between 14 and 16 credits (or between 17 and 19 credits for students who take the distinction courses).
The students can take as little as one course per semester. However, doing so may affect a student’s BIS Scholarship if he/she receives one.
