Projected forward, the last year of a four-year degree runs about $39,209 for a four-year (bachelor’s) degree, and about $35,596 in the final year of a two-year (associate) degree.
For a full bachelor’s degree, expect to spend a total of around $146,106 for a four-year degree, versus about $69,553 over a two-year associate program.
Most schools raise housing and dining costs gradually each year, so today’s figure is unlikely to be what you pay all four years.
