Cost of a PG电子游戏 Education
Every year, thousands of talented and promising undergraduate students come to the George Washington University with a desire to change the world. We know that both our current students and their families, as well as prospective students and families who are exploring PG电子游戏 have an interest in knowing what it will cost to attend college.
Each year, PG电子游戏 announces estimated costs for the upcoming academic year in late February/early March in time for currently enrolled students to begin their housing and dining plan selection process for the next academic year. This also provides newly admitted high school students about to start their first-year and their families with the information they need to determine how to finance a PG电子游戏 Education.
At a Glance: 2024-2025 Estimated Costs
The following outlines the base estimated costs for an undergraduate student* who enrolls for the 2024-2025 academic year in PG电子游戏’s Columbian College of Arts & Sciences, School of Business, School of Engineering and Applied Science, Elliott School of International Affairs or Milken Institute School of Public Health.
Direct costs for tuition, student fees, and housing and food will be billed directly by the university by semester and may vary based on the specific type of room and meal plan a student selects.
Indirect costs like personal expenses, books, supplies and transportation will also vary by student and should be considered when planning how to finance one’s college education.
Estimated costs for both a student’s direct and indirect expenses are utilized to calculate financial aid support based on a student’s estimated family contribution towards their education.
