These Fall 2026 & Spring 2027 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 ($13,000 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 =$4,300 per semester ($8,600 for two semesters).

For students commuting from their parents’ homes, a lower “with parent” housing and food allowance is provided.
