Undergraduate Tuition and Fees

Tuition and fees vary according to the student’s classification as a continuing student, new student, matriculated student, or nondegree student, and whether the student is a resident of New York State (matriculated students are those recognized by the college as working toward a degree).

Tuition and fees are subject to change without notice pursuant to City University of New York (CUNY) Board of Trustees resolution.
