The cost of attendance, or student budget, is an estimate of the total cost of attending Sargent College during the nine-month academic year (Fall\/Spring), including estimated living and personal expenses. Your costs may differ because living expenses vary depending on lifestyle, although as a full-time student the tuition and fees will be consistent. The student budget is also the maximum amount of financial aid students may receive, including University scholarships, student loans, resident assistantships, work-study, and any aid from other outside sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

All admitted students are automatically considered for merit scholarships. Merit scholarships are based on the strength of the student’s application, which is reviewed holistically by an admission committee. Students will be notified if they have been awarded a merit scholarship in the letter of acceptance. If students do not receive a merit scholarship, they may be eligible for financial aid in the form of loans. Federal financial aid includes both the unsubsidized<\/a> and the graduate plus loan,<\/a> which students may use to cover tuition and living expenses. Federal work study<\/a> may also be requested.<\/p>\n

\n

The tuition rates and fees outlined below are based on the 2026-2027 rates set by the\u00a0BU Financial Assistance<\/a> Office and approved by federal granting agencies. The same full-time tuition rate is charged to students taking anywhere between 12-18 credits of coursework. Students taking less than 12 credits are charged at a per credit rate. The Trustees of the University reserve the right to change tuition rates or fees at their discretion. Payment deadlines can be found on the BU Student Accounting Services\u00a0website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Program-specific rates and additional fees are listed below the general estimate.<\/p>\n
