I'm really interested in Brooklyn College, but I'm having trouble finding specific information about their undergraduate tuition and fees. Can anyone here give me a breakdown of the costs for an out-of-state student? Thanks in advance!
Sure! For the 2024-2025 academic year at Brooklyn College, which is part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, the undergraduate tuition and fees for an out-of-state student are as follows:
- Tuition (full-time): $620 per credit, typically 12-18 credits per semester. If you take 15 credits per semester (which is common), that would be $9,300 per semester or $18,600 for the full academic year.
- University Student Senate (USS) Fee: $1.45 per semester
- Student Activity Fee: $118.55 per semester
- Consolidated Service Fee: $15 per semester
- Technology Fee: $125 for full-time students per semester
Please keep in mind that these costs are only for tuition and mandatory fees—you'll need to factor in housing, meal plans, textbooks, transportation, and personal expenses as well. Also, the costs may change for future academic years, so it's essential to check the Brooklyn College website for the most up-to-date information.
Additionally, I'd recommend exploring financial aid opportunities, such as scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study, to help cover the costs. You can start by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine your eligibility for federal and state financial aid programs, and also look for scholarships unique to Brooklyn College or external scholarships that match your profile. Good luck!
