For specific information on Santa Clara University tuitions, fees, housing, meal plans and other related charges, please refer the University's tuition and fees.
For graduate students, the Cost of Attendance is projected at 12 units. Please keep in mind that enrollment of less than 12 units will result in COA being adjusted and aid will be reduced as needed to reflect actual enrollment during the first week of classes.
Request for additional educational-related expenses, such as child care, additional course expenses, or a one-time purchase of a computer, are viewed on a case-by-case basis.
As you are reviewing the costs, you may want to learn how to apply for financial aid, how we determine financial aid, the types of aid and other consumer information.
