CUNY tuition varies depending on your residency status (New York State resident or Out-of-State) and the type of college you attend (four-year college or community college). For full-time undergraduate students, annual tuition ranges from $4,800 to $18,600.
Understanding CUNY Tuition Costs
The City University of New York (CUNY) offers different tuition rates to accommodate its diverse student body. These rates are primarily determined by whether a student is a New York State resident and if they are enrolled in a four-year senior college or a two-year community college program.
Key Factors Influencing CUNY Tuition:
- Residency Status: New York State residents benefit from significantly lower tuition rates compared to out-of-state residents.
- College Type: Tuition at CUNY's community colleges is generally lower than at its four-year senior colleges.
- Enrollment Status: The figures provided typically refer to full-time undergraduate tuition. Part-time tuition rates are usually calculated per credit.
