Cost of Attendance

2023-2024 academic year cost of attendance budgets

Cost of attendance (COA) is an average estimate of costs a student would have if enrolled at CMU for the fall and spring semesters. It includes the costs billed by the university (direct) and estimated costs that are not billed by CMU (indirect).

  • What is a direct cost? For example, your tuition, student service fee, and food/housing (if on-campus) will be directly billed by the university onto your student account.
  • What is an indirect cost? On the other hand, CMU will not bill you for transportation or miscellaneous personal expenses; instead, these expenses are amounts that are created to allow for further financial aid eligibility to help offset non-CMU expenses you may experience while enrolled.

Bottom line? The COA, represented in the below charts, are here to help us determine your financial aid offer, while your true costs will depend on the actual credit load, food and housing plan you choose, and other expenses you may choose to have.

Please note: the tuition component of the undergraduate COA is a blended rate of lower, upper, and base rates at 30 credit hours per academic year. To determine your billable tuition rate cost, please visit our Tuition and Fees page.
