How Much You Can Expect to Pay

Coming up with a “sticker price” is a complicated equation. On it’s face it breaks down like this:

Cost of Attendance 2024-2025 Annual

Tuition	$52,520
Housing	$6,970
Food	$6,970
Student Fee	$300
TOTAL	$66,760

Included in tuition, housing, and food is access to physical and mental health care at Centre’s Student Health & Counseling center. In addition, we estimate the average domestic student will spend about $4,090 for related expenses, such as books, transportation, and personal expenses, whereas international students can expect $5,740 in similar expenses including international student health insurance.

At �鶹��though, more than 90% of the students don’t pay this much. The Student Fee helps to cover the rich co-curricular programs, services, performance, recreational activities and other events throughout the term which benefit students and complement our faculty-led instruction.
