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 Clayton State University in 2018 - 2019 was $19,631. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 1.2% each year.
If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $20,109 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $20,848, for a bachelor degree candidate ($20,352 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $81,907 over the course of four years ($40,461 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.
The cost for out-of-state students is more, with an overall expected four-year cost of $123,734 based on a yearly growth rate of 0.8%. The expected two-year cost is $61,380.
Remember, the full costs quoted above are not what most students will pay, and the net price varies quite a bit based on individual circumstances.
