Projected Costs Between $90,097 and $232,759 For a Four Year Degree. Between $43,287 and $112,456 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 Lock Haven University in 2020 - 2021 was $27,595. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 3.4% each year.

If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $29,481 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $32,553, for a bachelor degree candidate ($30,471 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $124,000 over the course of four years ($59,952 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 $168,548 based on a yearly growth rate of 3.4%. The expected two-year cost is $81,433.

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.
