These Fall 2024 & Spring 2025 budgets include estimated direct MICA charges (tuition/fees, campus housing, and food allowance) and estimated cost for indirect costs (Books, course materials, supplies, and equipment, off-campus housing/food, transportation, miscellaneous personal expenses as well as federal loan fees for loan receipts only).
For students who live on-campus or off-campus not with parents, the housing & food allowances are based on the cost for an on-campus double occupancy room ($11,860 for two semesters) and an allowance for food cost calculated based on the median cost per meal offered from MICA meal plans to cover 21 meals per week =$4,032 per semester ($8,064 for two semesters).
For students commuting from their parents’ homes, a lower “with parent” housing and food allowance is provided.
