It can be a bit scary to look at the total projected cost of a college education over the course of a multi-year degree, however, doing so will help you better understand the financial commitment you are making.

The overall cost for on-campus, in-state students to attend Arizona State University - Tempe in 2020 - 2021 was $29,578. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 2.2% each year.

If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $30,876 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $32,930, for a bachelor degree candidate ($31,546 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $127,581 over the course of four years ($62,421 over the course of two years). These numbers do not take into consideration financial aid, which reduces this overall cost by varying amounts per student.
