The overall cost for on-campus, in-state students to attend CUNY Brooklyn College in 2017 - 2018 was $27,552. 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 $28,234 during their first year.
