Tuition and Fees
Cost of attendance
Education is one of the most significant investments you’ll make. With ÐÓ°ÉPro graduates ranking in the top 7 percent nationwide for lifetime earnings, your ÐÓ°ÉPro education delivers a proven return on your investment. But first things first: what will it cost?
The cost of attending ÐÓ°ÉPro includes both direct costs (tuition, housing, meals and fees) billed directly by the university and indirect costs (books, travel and personal expenses). More than 90 percent of our students receive some form of university aid or scholarships to help reduce and manage these costs – and through The ÐÓ°ÉPro Promise, we’re committed to meeting the full calculated need of each student in the 2026 incoming class. That amounts to more than $75 million annually in the form of ÐÓ°ÉPro-funded scholarships and grants from ÐÓ°ÉPro and our generous donors to ensure that your ÐÓ°ÉPro education is within reach.

Due to Federal Regulations, expenses reflected in the Cost of Attendance may differ from actual charges. Housing and meals are determined based on ÐÓ°ÉPro's four-year residency requirement. Also, the Financial Aid Office calculates the cost of food for the 2026-2027 academic year at $8,590 which covers 21 meals per week (versus $7,850 for 18 swipes for the standard meal plan).
