Tuition & Costs

We know how important it is to be able to afford your college education. The cost of college is not simply an expense for the next four years, but it is an investment into your future.

Your Cost of Attendance (COA) is a financial aid budget designed to help you plan and manage your expenses while earning your degree at UB.

Even with financial aid, many students and families find that there’s still a remaining balance to cover when it comes to college costs. This difference—often called the “gap”—can be filled in a variety of ways. Whether you’re planning to pay out of pocket, use a payment plan, or explore loan options, it’s important to understand the tools available to help you manage your college expenses. This page outlines practical ways to cover that gap and keep your education on track.
