Penn State's Costs
A college education will be one of the most important investments you make. Considering both the quality and cost of a college education is important.
Penn State offers a high-quality education — a sound investment in your future. In addition to Penn State’s strong academic reputation, the University is recognized as one of the most efficient universities in the U.S.
The College Cost Calculator* provides you an estimate of the costs associated with attending Penn State as an undergraduate, graduate, or professional student for the current (2009-10) academic year. Please use this calculator for planning purposes only, as the Board of Trustees sets 2010-11 costs in July 2010. While tuition and fees increase every year, Penn State continues to make every effort to limit the rate of the increase.
As you review these estimated costs, you may also want to read about strategies for financing a Penn State education. The "More on this Topic" and "Related Links" section of this page may also be of interest to you.
