Graduate Cost of Attendance
2023-24 Cost of Attendance
When considering the financial cost of attending college, one number doesn't tell the whole story. Cost of Attendance (CoA) provides a more complete picture of total direct and indirect costs of one academic year at North Central College. Direct costs are expenses that will be included on your semester bill, such as tuition, fees, housing, and food. Indirect costs are expenses that won't show up on your bill but should be considered. Examples of indirect costs include books, classroom supplies, traveling, and personal expenses. Note that CoA is only an estimated number and will change based on your specific lifestyle and living arrangements.
Please note:
- To determine tuition cost, you will multiply the per-credit rate for your program by the number of enrolled credits for each enrolled term.
- Each student will be charged a $50 Wellness Fee each enrolled fall and spring.
