Looking at the total projected cost of a college education over the course of two / four (or more) years can feel a little overwhelming. However, doing so will help better prepare you for the financial commitment you are making.

The overall cost for on-campus students to attend Catawba in 2020 - 2021 was $47,074. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 1.7% each year. If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $48,659 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $51,138 for a bachelor degree candidate ($49,472 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $199,568 over the course of four years ($98,131 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.
