Cost of Attendance

Cost of Attendance

Cost of Attendance (COA) is the total estimate of what it costs to attend the school for one Academic Year. It includes Direct Costs (Tuition and Fees – what you pay directly to the school) and Indirect Costs (housing, food, transportation, misc. personal expenses, books, materials, equipment, supplies, loan fees, and *personal therapy (*for ATCN, ATCP, and CN students only)).

The figures below represent the total estimated Cost of Attendance for the program, based on your chosen program planner. Tuition, fees, and indirect cost allowances are subject to change each year and are evaluated on an annual basis using national and local average living costs. As a private institution, SWC does not differentiate between “in-state” and “out-of-state” or Ground vs. Online tuition costs.

The purpose of the Cost of Attendance is to establish a limit on how much aid a student can receive for an academic year.

Program Planners and Cost of Attendance

At SWC, we use program planners to guide students through the completion of their degree. New students will select a program planner with admissions. To aid in that decision, we have compiled the estimated Cost of Attendance for each of our programs, and the different program planner options you can choose from:
