Certificate Program Costs

Costs vary by program– you can see the total estimated cost for each program below. Please note that the tuition cost is subject to increase yearly based on credit and fee rates.

Because of the format of the Communication Design Certificate and the Non-Credit Certificates, students in these programs are not eligible for federal financial aid.

Cost of Attendance

Knowing your Cost of Attendance (COA) will help you gain a full understanding of the financial investment required to attend ºìÁì½í¹Ï±¨. Your COA is not the amount you will be billed for by the college, but rather the estimated cost of completing a full academic year. While it includes direct costs billed by the college, such as tuition, it also reflects indirect costs such as art supplies, books or personal living expenses. 

If you apply for financial aid and are accepted into the Fashion Design Certificate, Furniture Design Certificate, or a Postbaccalaureate program, you’ll receive a personalized Cost of Attendance (COA) in your financial aid offer.
