Hey everyone, I've been looking into Carleton College and I'm really drawn by their strong liberal arts program. I'm trying to understand their tuition cost so I can figure out my financial plans. Does anyone know how much the current tuition is or where I can find this info?
The tuition for Carleton College for the 2024-2025 academic year is approximately $68,500. This figure only includes tuition and does not account for additional expenses like room and board, books, and personal expenses.
To get a better understanding of the total cost of attendance, don't forget to account for room and board, which is approximately $17,600; the estimated cost for books and supplies, which is around $1,200; and personal expenses, which run about $1,500-$3,000 per year. So the estimated total cost of attendance is up in the $88-89K or so range per year.
To get more precise information and updates on costs, you can verify these numbers on the Carleton College website's 'Tuition and Fees' page. Keep in mind that these are 'sticker prices' – many students may pay less if they qualify for financial aid or scholarships. If you want a rough estimate of what you might actually pay after financial aid, Carleton's website has a net price calculator you can use (https://www.carleton.edu/admissions/apply/afford/aid-estimators/npc/). This will need information on your family's finances, so it could be useful to have a parent there when you use it.
