Your cost of attendance (COA)—sometimes called your student budget—is an estimate of what it costs a typical student to attend Briar Cliff University. This number includes more than just tuition. It also takes into account your everyday living expenses.

Indirect Costs are estimated expenses related to attending college. These are not billed by BCU, but they are included in your financial aid calculation so you can borrow enough to cover your living expenses during the academic year. This flexibility allows students to account for living expenses beyond tuition and housing, helping ensure you can focus on your education and live comfortably during the academic year without unexpected financial stress.
