## 2025-2026 Cost of Attendance

 All graduate students should refer to the Office of the Bursar for official [tuition and fees](https://www.nyu.edu/students/student-information-and-resources/bills-payments-and-refunds/tuition-and-fees.html).

## Indirect Expenses

Indirect expenses are estimates of costs that may be associated with your attendance, but are not typically University charges.

### Traditional Programs

*Graduate Students (9 months, spring/fall semesters)*

Your living expenses will vary from these estimates based on whether you live on or off campus, have a meal plan, and take university health insurance during your time as a graduate student.

Estimated transportation takes into account an average of one trip in the continental U.S. during each academic year.
