Certificate Costs
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.Â
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.
*Student charges are based on the tuition cost per credit and the average number of credits taken in one academic year.
**Non-billed expense
Your cost of attendance includes:
- Tuition and fees payable to the institution
- An estimate for housing and food for renting an off campus apartment
- Books, course materials, supplies and equipment, including the cost of a computer (for
incoming students) - Transportation
- Miscellaneous personal expenses
We calculate your COA based on your residency status as well as the information you provide about your living arrangements. If your living arrangements change, please notify the Office of Student Financial Assistance so we can update your COA.
