The financial planning process should begin well before you are admitted to the institution and continue throughout your academic career. We hope that you will find this information helpful as you move beyond your initial stage of graduate education exploration.
The official tuition rate for 2015-2016 (Fall 2015, Spring 2016, and Summer 2016) is $1,454 per credit hour. The official college fee is $428 per semester. Please note that the college fee cannot be waived.
The price of tuition per credit/point is the same for both master's and doctoral students. There is no in-state or out-of-state tuition rate; everyone will pay $1,454 per credit/point (with the exception of a few special cohort programs). The average class is three credit hours.
It is important to note that there is no "sticker price" for any program here at Teachers College (TC). Every student's budget will be different and will vary depending on the number of credit hours the student plans to take during the year. Additional items such as books/supplies, room/board, personal expenses, and transportation costs will also affect how much you will pay during your time at TC. Note that these additional items are expenses that are yours to determine and can be covered by your financial aid if you choose. Unlike tuition and fees, the additional budget items are not required charges; they can be factored into your own budget and covered by financial aid on an as-needed basis.
