3. Cost of Attendance
The Financial Aid Cost of Attendance (COA) provides an estimate of your total educational expenses for an academic year. The COA includes:
- Direct Costs: tuition, fees, and on-campus housing.
- Indirect Costs: books and supplies, off-campus housing, meals, transportation, and personal expenses.
These amounts are estimates and may vary based on course requirements, the number of semesters a student attends, and individual spending habits. The Cost of Attendance is not the actual amount a student will be billed by Baker College. Click “Cost of Attendance” to view a detailed breakdown of both direct and indirect costs.
