Cost of Attendance

Students are assigned a Cost of Attendance for each academic year, which is an estimated amount of both direct and indirect costs related to your degree program by academic year.

Cost of Attendance is governed by many factors including level of enrollment, and personal choices related to your education such as food costs, housing, books, course supplies, transportation to campus, and personal expenses.

The Direct cost for tuition will be based on your actual tuition charge from the BAC. Indirect costs are assigned an average amount for students in our area and program. Indirect costs listed below will typically not appear on the student’s bill from the College.

The Cost of Attendance serves as a maximum for the amount of financial aid that a student can receive up to in an academic year for their program. This includes, but is not limited to, institutional scholarships and grants, state grants, outside scholarships, and both private and federal student loans.

When making a financial plan for the academic year, you will want to consider all costs in order to ensure you are budgeting for your needs. Please be advised that tuition typically increases annually and will be announced via the BAC website when we are preparing for a new academic year.
