Projected Costs Between $61,343 and $213,706 For a Four Year Degree. Between $29,594 and $104,528 For a Two Year Degree.

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 Lander University in 2020 - 2021 was $26,240. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 3.2% each year.

If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $27,952 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $30,731, for a bachelor degree candidate ($28,849 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $117,306 over the course of four years ($56,801 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 $154,751 based on a yearly growth rate of 2.2%. The expected two-year cost is $75,692.

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.
