Cost of Attendance

Tisch graduate students pay a flat fee tuition each academic year. In addition to tuition, students also pay registration/student service fees. The Board of Trustees of New York University reserves the right to alter the schedule of fees without notice. We expect a moderate increase in tuition and department-specific charges each academic year.
