Jefferson provides a great tuition value, but we know college is always a major investment. We’ve estimated tuition, fees, and living expenses to provide a basic picture of college costs.
Every situation is different, so use our net price calculator for another view and contact financial aid for advice on loans, grants, scholarships, and more. Financial aid can be used to pay for most of your college costs, including tuition and fees, room and board, books, and some other expenses.
See the following scenarios for an approximate idea of what studying full-time (at least 12 credit hours per semester, spring and fall semesters) at Jefferson might cost. If you're a New York Resident, you'll need to complete a County Residency Form (otherwise, you'll be charged non-resident tuition). Please contact financial aid office for this form.
