Projected Costs Between $67,726 and $290,116 For a Four Year Degree. Between $31,424 and $141,406 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 The College of New Jersey in 2019 - 2020 was $36,093. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 2.6% each year.

If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $38,031 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $41,136, for a bachelor degree candidate ($39,039 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $158,280 over the course of four years ($77,070 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 $210,083 based on a yearly growth rate of 2.6%. The expected two-year cost is $102,397.

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.
