Projected forward, the last year of a four-year degree runs about $19,435 for a bachelor’s degree, while a two-year (associate) student would pay around $18,819 in the final year of a two-year (associate) degree.

Over the entire degree (assuming you graduate on time), the total comes to about $75,900 for a bachelor’s, while two years would run about $37,341 for a two-year stay.

Budget for Annual Increases
