Cost of Attendance: New York City Campus 2023-2024
Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of students’ educational expenses for the period of enrollment, as determined by the university. COA includes, but is not limited to: Tuition Fees, Housing, Food, Books, Personal, Transportation/Commuting.
Billable charges are listed as estimates in the COA and may change based on a student’s actual enrollment for a term and based on the final tuition and fee rates approved by the Board of Trustees.
- Billable (Direct) Costs – Direct costs are the actual charges that a student is billed by the School of Social Work or Columbia University.
 - Estimated (Indirect) Costs – Indirect costs are other estimated costs associated with attending School of Social Work. These are not exact costs, but are used to help students estimate a total cost of attendance for a year of enrollment at School of Social Work.
Need-based Scholarship, Grants, Loans, and Federal Work Study are based on students demonstrated financial need. The COA is the cornerstone of establishing a student’s financial need, as it sets a limit on the total aid that a student may receive for purposes of Campus-Based Programs, Scholarships, Grants, Direct Unsubsidized, Grad Plus Loans and private loans.
An explanation of the different fees can be found here. Financial aid information can be found on our Pay for Your Degree page.
