Direct costs include tuition, university fees, and health insurance. Indirect costs include books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses.
Projected increases in tuition are determined by the Board of Trustees of Columbia University in June, therefore, for planning purposes, a three percent increase should be anticipated each year.
