Emerson College costs

How much does Emerson College really cost? I'm really passionate about their programs but need to plan financially. Any ideas?

As you may know, the cost of attendance at colleges can be broken down into various components including tuition, room and board, and additional fees.

For Emerson College, the following is a rough estimate for the 2024-2025 academic year:

- Tuition: $56,032

- Room and Board (on-campus): $21,420

- Fees (compulsory, includes health fee, student activity fee, etc): $1,280

This adds up to approximately $78,732 per academic year. Keep in mind that these are just the direct costs billed by the college. There may be other indirect costs such as books, personal expenses, and travel.

However, remember that the sticker price of a college isn't necessarily what you will pay. This cost could be significantly reduced through need-based financial aid, as Emerson College offers both merit scholarships and need-based aid. It's wise to use the Net Price Calculator on Emerson's website (https://npc.collegeboard.org/app/emerson) to get a more accurate estimate of what you might pay based on your family's financial situation.

Also noteworthy - colleges sometimes adjust tuition and fees annually, so these costs could change slightly by the time you enroll. But hopefully this gives you a good starting point for estimating how much Emerson College could cost.
