Cost of Attendance

In preparation to attend Berklee, it is important to not only understand the cost of tuition and related fees, but also the total cost of attendance (COA). A student's COA is made of up direct and indirect charges. Direct charges are Berklee charges on your student account, such as tuition and fees. Indirect costs are average allowances for other education-related expenses that are not a part of your Berklee bill, such as off-campus housing, books and supplies, and travel and personal expenses.

The COA indicates the maximum amount of resources (including Berklee and outside scholarships, financial aid, and private loans) that we may process on a student's behalf. These figures are based on full-time enrollment for the fall and spring semesters.

Cost of Attendance for 2011-2012

* The cost of health insurance is charged to student accounts once a year. This figure represents the health insurance charge for students attending Berklee in Fall 2010 and is an estimate until the actual charge for 2011-2012 has been determined.

** One-time cost charged to entering students only. Laptop is $2,985 + 6.25% Massachusetts's sales tax for Fall 2010. This charge is an estimate until the actual charge for 2011-2012 has been determined.
