OTHER PROGRAM COSTS
Orientation and summer residency fee
Students pay a one-time fee of $500 to support programming for two mandatory on-campus sessions: a two-day orientation held in August prior to the start of the program and a weeklong summer residency in May between the first and second years in the program. The non-refundable fee will be billed directly by the university and must be paid before enrolling for the first semester. Lunch is provided during on-campus sessions, but students are responsible for other related costs, such as transportation and lodging.
Books, software and other course supplies
Students should budget up to $150 per course for books, software, subscriptions or other purchases required by the instructor.
Computers and internet connection
Students are expected to have consistent access to a computer with an up-to-date Mac or PC operating system and that meets the system requirements for Adobe Illustrator. A home broadband internet connection is required.
EMPLOYER SUPPORT
Many employers offer tuition assistance or reimbursement for employees. Check with your organization’s office of human resources.
