NYU Tuition & Cost · 2026–27
Tuition & fees at New York University (NYU) include undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees. Cost of attendance is NYU's estimated total annual amount for an undergraduate living on or off campus (not with family), adding food and housing, books, transportation, and personal expenses. These are NYU's baseline 2026–27 published figures for most NYU undergraduate schools. Some NYU schools have different tuition, including the Stern School of Business and the Tisch School of the Arts — see methodology for school-specific figures.
But that's not necessarily what your family will pay.
Financial aid changes the price dramatically.
NYU's current published cost is $100,998. Federal data from the latest available reporting cycle shows that NYU's average net prices have varied dramatically by household income — from around $16,000 to nearly $60,000 per year.
For first-time, first-year undergraduates on NYU's New York campus, families earning less than $100,000 with assets typical of that income level may have tuition covered under NYU's current published aid policy. Transfer students are not eligible. Source: NYU Admissions.

Reported by NYU to the U.S. Department of Education (IPEDS). These are averages within each income range, based on students who received federal financial aid in NYU's most recent IPEDS reporting cycle (AY 2022–23). Federal reporting lags the current published cost by roughly two years, and your family's actual number depends on which NYU school your student attends, specific programs, and your particular financial situation. See methodology.
Those are historical averages — not your family's price.
So what will NYU cost your family?
Published prices don't answer that. Averages don't either. Your number depends on the aid you receive, what your family can contribute, and how much is left to cover.
And if you need to borrow some of it?
The real cost of college isn't just the four years. It's what that borrowing could mean every month for the next 20 years.

About these numbers
Published tuition and cost of attendance shown at the top of this page are NYU's baseline 2026–27 published figures, as posted by NYU's Admissions Financial Aid office. Cost of attendance is NYU's estimated total annual amount for an undergraduate living on or off campus (not with family), adding food and housing, books, transportation, and personal expenses. Both figures are what NYU publishes before any financial aid is applied. NYU notes on its own source page that these amounts are not officially approved until July 2026, so final figures may differ from the amounts shown. Not all NYU undergraduate schools share the baseline figures: the Stern School of Business publishes tuition and fees of $70,464 and a total cost of attendance of $102,886, and the Tisch School of the Arts publishes tuition and fees of $75,326 and a total cost of attendance of $107,748. NYU's Abu Dhabi and Shanghai campuses have separate cost-of-attendance figures.
Net cost figures reflect NYU's average net price by household income as reported to the U.S. Department of Education under IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System). Federal IPEDS collection lags the current academic year by roughly two years, so these averages come from an earlier reporting cycle (AY 2022–23) than the 2026–27 published cost shown at the top of this page. Net price is total cost of attendance minus grant and scholarship aid received, based on students in that cycle who received federal Title IV financial aid. These are averages within each income range — actual family costs vary based on which NYU school your student attends, specific academic programs, changes in NYU's aid policies, and each family's specific financial situation. Separately, under NYU's current published aid policy known as the NYU Promise, first-time, first-year undergraduates on NYU's New York campus from families earning less than $100,000 with typical assets may have tuition covered. Transfer students are not eligible for the NYU Promise.
The CollegeClearly estimator translates your family's specific cost into a standardized 20-year monthly financial commitment using CollegeClearly's own repayment model, applied identically to every school we cover so families can compare on the same basis. It is a comparison framework, not a specific loan product.
