Cost of Attendance
The cost of attending Marywood University includes both direct costs and indirect costs.
Direct costs are those that you will be billed for like tuition, fees, and room and board.
Indirect costs such as rent for an off-campus apartment, books, or transportation to campus are all associated with going to college but will never appear on your bill from the University Cashier’s Office.
Our indirect costs used in the cost of attendance are based on the typical expenses of a Marywood University student. Your indirect costs may vary from these averages.
