Projected forward, the last year of a four-year degree runs about $35,226 in year four — and a two-year student about $30,404 for the last year of an associate degree.
Over the entire degree (assuming you graduate on time), the total comes to about $126,626 for a four-year degree, versus about $58,687 for two years on campus.
