Tuition, the bill and the full budget
Tuition is only one component. Direct charges include tuition, fees and university-billed housing and meals. Books, travel and personal spending are indirect costs. Off-campus housing and food are budget allowances, not university charges.
The admissions cost page lists tuition, fees, housing and meals at $30,746 for New York residents and $53,516 for out-of-state residents. The fuller Financial Aid totals above also include books, transportation and personal expenses.

About these program numbers
Up to 30 programs with reported four-year earnings, in alphabetical order. A program is identified by institution, CIP field and credential. Debt is median Stafford and Grad PLUS debt disbursed at all institutions for program completers who borrowed. Figures are drawn from the June 10, 2026 field-of-study snapshot. The existing package does not preserve exact program cohort years, so none are inferred and these figures are excluded from cross-college comparison.
