Continuing the same trend, the final-year cost would be roughly $42,226 for a four-year (bachelor’s) degree, and about $33,657 for the last year of an associate degree.
Over a four-year stay, the projected room, board and living-cost total is about $143,727 over four years — compared with roughly $63,866 over a two-year associate program.
