The Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of the expenses that a student may incur during a given academic year. Direct costs (i.e. tuition, fees, housing, meals) and indirect costs (i.e. books, transportation) are combined to arrive at a student's overall COA. Direct costs appear as charges on a student's bill while indirect costs will not appear on a bill, but may be incurred during the course of the academic year.
Please note: Wagner College does not differentiate tuition costs for in-state and out-of-state residents.
The costs below are estimates for full-time students for the 2025-2026 academic year (fall and spring) except where otherwise noted.
