The overall cost for on-campus students to attend Berklee College of Music in 2019 - 2020 was $66,944. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 2.5% each year. If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $70,292 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $75,630 for a bachelor degree candidate ($72,028 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $291,757 over the course of four years ($142,320 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.
