It’s college application season, kids.
That means it’s time to start thinking about how much tuition will cost and how it compares at other schools.
We’ve rounded up tuition costs at several Arizona colleges and universities, both public and private, so you don’t have to do countless Google searches.
The following are tuition and fee costs for full-time undergraduate students for the 2018-19 school year.
Graduate tuition and certain programs may cost more or include additional fees. Tuition also may increase next school year at some institutions.
Many of these schools also offer online programs, which may have different tuition prices.
Not all fees or costs may be included in the tuition prices listed below. For instance, some fields of study have higher tuition and some fees for specific uses may not be added into the price.
There’s also the cost of room and board (and parking) to consider.
And one major consideration: Many students don’t pay sticker price for tuition, so your actual cost to attend, once scholarships, grant and other funds are included, could differ greatly from the amounts listed below.
