Tuition and Costs

Overview

As with most institutions, at DigiPen, financial responsibility for funding education rests first with students and their families. Students are expected to meet a portion of their expenses from earnings and savings, while parents are expected to contribute according to their financial responsibility, as determined by the federal formula. To better assist you and your family with the planning process, we have provided tables showing the undergraduate and graduate students' estimated educational costs at DigiPen.

We encourage you to review the costs in the tables below. It is important for students and parents to discuss how the family will pay for college. The DigiPen Course Catalog describes programs available to help students fund the difference between the cost and what the family can pay, as do the sections on Private (Alternative) Loans and Scholarships.

General Information

A Cost of Attendance (COA) or Budget will include the following:

• Full-time and half-time tuition and fees
• Allowance for books and supplies, room and board (or rent), food, and utilities
• Personal, miscellaneous, and transportation expenses

Except tuition and fees, all costs are based upon average expenses for most students. Each student's lifestyle really determines how much his or her COA will be. Digipen uses a modest, adequate living allowance to provide for reasonable expenditures.

Types of Budgets

The traditional student budget is for students who are single undergraduates without children and married students who are both students. The non-traditional student budget is for students with children or married undergraduates whose spouse is not attending.
