| Cost of Attendance |

The cost of attendance (COA) is the average academic year education-related cost for attending a program at an institution of higher education. Expected charges include direct costs, such as tuition and fees, and indirect costs, such as room and board, travel, books and supplies, and other personal expenses. The COA will differ based on various circumstances, such as your enrollment status and living situation. Students living with their parents should reference the 'With Parent' components below. All other students should reference the 'Off-campus' components below.
Below are the COA components for the 2023-24 academic year. At AIU, a full-time academic year consists of three terms, which is generally seven months in length.
