Below is a list of estimated expenses, both at the graduate level and undergraduate level. If you require an F-1 visa, you are required to submit bank statements showing that you have access to the Estimated Total Annual Costs before an I-20 will be issued to you.

 A one-time international orientation fee of $200.00 will be charged to all new student accounts.

IMPORTANT

Please be aware that the above costs may vary from student to student and it is based on 9 months. As an example, some students may spend more money on personal expenses or travel within the USA. Also, these costs do not include all expenses, such as travel to and from your home country.
