Hey guys, I'm considering applying to Bethune-Cookman University for its STEM program but I'm a bit concerned about tuition. Does anyone have any details on what I might be looking at financially if I were to attend?
Bethune-Cookman University, being a private institution, can have higher tuition fees than public colleges. However, the financial burden can be lessened through aid, scholarships, and grants. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition and fees for Bethune-Cookman University are approximately $15,000.
Please note that this is the base tuition and fees, and does not cover living expenses, books, or other costs that come with being a student. The cost of room and board can add around $10,500 more to your expenses.
However, do not get discouraged by these numbers. Many students receive financial aid which substantially lowers their out-of-pocket expenditures. Your actual cost of attending depends on several factors, including your family income, academic achievement, and any scholarships or financial aid packages you receive.
I recommend using the school's Net Price Calculator — which should be available on their website — to get a more accurate estimate for your personalized cost of attendance, including potential financial aid (https://npc.collegeboard.org/app/bcookman). This will give you a detailed overview tailored to your specific financial situation. Additionally, Bethune-Cookman University offers scholarships and aid for students, so make sure to explore these resources as well.
