An estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) is used by the Financial Aid Office when processing applications for financial aid and student loans. This estimate is based on average costs incurred in a specified program of study. At BGSP, tuition is charged at a per-credit rate, so the costs will vary depending on your enrollment status (part-time vs. full-time).
When estimating the total cost of an education, consider both direct expenses and indirect expenses. You are billed by the school for direct expenses, including costs such as your tuition and fees each semester. Indirect expenses include estimates and allowances for relevant educational expenses not paid directly to the school, such as books, training analysis, living expenses, and relevant personal expenses.
The estimates below are for Full-time students. For information on the estimated Cost of Attendance for a part-time student, please contact the Financial Aid Office at financialaid@bgsp.edu or 617-277-3915.
