COSTS
As a part of our philosophy of sustainable design we make every attempt to keep the costs of our programs as affordable as possible. Tuition fees do not cover our operating costs and we rely on donations and grants as well as other income producing activities to provide these programs at a reasonable cost.
We can no longer hold tuition and housing costs at our historical rates. As of September 30th, 2008, base tuition fees will increase to $5000 for the semester programs and $7400 for the semester programs with credit. Summer workshops will be $1750 beginning summer 2009. Housing costs listed are an estimate.
Students registered before September 30th, 2008, will pay current prices listed below and at right.
