The overall cost for on-campus students to attend Doane Crete in 2020 - 2021 was $52,530. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 4.8% each year. If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $57,738 during their first year.
