Average cost figures start with estimating tuition, fees, room and board, books, and other related expenses. We then subtract the average amount of financial aid that a student receives. You can use this as a gauge to estimate how much you may need to pay out of pocket to cover costs when financial aid isn't enough. Keep in mind that the net cost for you may be higher or lower, depending on your income and other factors.
Since picking the right college can be one of the most important decisions of your life, we've developed the Best Value History Schools ranking, along with many other major-related rankings, to help you make that decision.
