The Financial Aid team has created a Cost Sheet for students, with estimates of tuition and fees for the current 2022-2023 academic year. The COST SHEET provides students with estimates of what three years of law school could cost. This chart provides students with three-year projections of law school cost if borrowing tuition and fees only (resident and non-resident) and three-year projections if borrowing the full Cost of Attendance for tuition/fees and living expenses (resident and non-resident).

Please Note: If a student is receiving a scholarships this will impact student loan borrowing and help reduce student loan debt.
