Student Admissions & Orientation, & Faculty Info: Undergraduate Admissions

Estimate of Expenses for Undergraduates International Students:
2009-2010

An estimate of expenses for a twelve-month period is listed below. (Other figures you may have seen were based on a 9 month academic calculation.) Please keep in mind that these are minimum estimates for living expenses and that, depending upon your lifestyle, the actual costs may be higher. Transportation to and from the United States and optional Summer School tuition are not included in the estimates. Due to inflation, these costs will increase annually.

Academic year tuition & activity fee* $ 39,710
Room & board for 12 months $ 14,328
Required health service fee & health insurance $ 2,132
Academic year books & supplies $ 800
Personal expenses for 12 months (clothing, laundry, local transportation, entertainment, etc.) $ 2,200
_______
TOTAL $59,170

If married and your spouse will accompany you to the United States, please add $4,330 per year to the living expenses listed above. For each child who will accompany you, add $3,000 per year.

*These figures are subject to approval by the Board of Trustees in May, 2009.

Please Note: Because individuals on student visas must certify that funds are available to finance their education, it is not expected that students will need to work beyond the limits of a teaching or research assistantship. Although part-time (not to exceed 20hours per week) on-campus work is allowed, these jobs are limited. Please keep in mind that the U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services severely limits off-campus work for students, and, in most cases, does not allow it at all within the first academic year. You must check with the International Center before considering off-campus employment.
