Cost of Attendance (COA) includes tuition, fees, and modest living expenses associated with attending APU.

Estimated Cost of Attendance for Graduate Students

Here is an example of COA for a graduate student, living off campus and attending traditional 16-week fall and spring terms at APU:

8 Months Cost of Attendance

Books and Supplies	$1,024
Board (Food)	$5,096
Loan Fees	$288
Personal Expenses	$3,488
Room	$10,712
Transportation	$832
Tuition	varies
Total Budget Excluding Tuition and Fees	$21,440

If your program unit cost is $700 per unit and you are taking 20 units, your tuition will be $14,000 ($700 x 20).

Example of fall and spring: $21,440 (living expenses) + $14,000 (tuition) = $35,440 total COA.¹

Estimated Cost of Attendance for Professional Students

Here is an example of COA for a professional student, living off campus and attending traditional 16-week fall and spring terms at APU:

Personal Expenses	$3,488
