Below are the estimated costs for the upcoming academic year that must be met before issuance of a certificate for eligibility (Form I-20 or DS2019).
___________________________________________
Tuition and Fees (non-resident, international) $26,840
Living Expenses $9,960
Books and Supplies $1385
Mandatory International Health Insurance $2050
TOTAL $40,235
___________________________________________
Your total minimum expected financial responsibility is $40,235. This includes your tuition and fees, living expenses, books and supplies, and mandatory international health insurance.
Add $2,000 for a dependent spouse and $1,000 for each dependent child. For example, if you plan to bring your spouse and one child as dependents, you will need to document $40,235 + $3,000 = $43,235.
These estimated expenses are for graduate-level students for the 2026-2027 year (based on a 9-hour graduate enrollment in the Fall and Spring semesters). This estimate is based on the fall and spring semesters ONLY.
In the event of an increase in tuition and/or fees, students are responsible for added costs. We recommend documenting 10-15% more funds than the minimum required.
