Cost of Attendance

Cost of attendance (COA) is the estimated cost to attend college for one academic year. The U.S. Department of Education requires all colleges to provide cost of attendance information that includes both estimated direct and indirect costs.

Direct costs are charges billed by Berry College and indirect costs are other costs students may incur during their academic year.

Berry’s COA information is based on full-time enrollment (12 to 18 undergraduate credit hours or 9 graduate credit hours per semester) and a 9-month period of enrollment (fall and spring semesters).
