Cost of Attendance

2025-2026 COST OF ATTENDANCE

Estimated Cost of Attendance for an Academic Year

The Cost of Attendance (COA) represents the estimated cost of attending Nebraska Methodist College based on full-time enrollment. The purpose of this estimate is to provide you, the student, with an idea of what your expenses might be to attend.

The COA includes both direct and indirect costs. Direct costs are those that are paid to NMC. Indirect costs are education related expenses paid to others.

Direct educational costs:

Indirect educational costs:

  • Tuition & fees (such as health, resource, and technology fees; course and lab fees; ATI fees; etc.)
  • E-books
  • Campus Housing
  • Books, course materials, supplies and equipment
  • Transportation
  • Food
  • Off-campus housing
  • Miscellaneous personal expenses related to attending school
  • Cost of obtaining a license, certification, or first professional credential

The COA is only an estimate based on the average expenses of a category of students. These costs, therefore, do not necessarily represent every expense a student might incur throughout a given year. Your actual experience may be different from these averages based on your own personal spending choices and on how many courses you take each semester.

Note:  The estimated COA is based on a student being enrolled full-time for the number of semesters listed for each program. NMC will adjust the estimates based on actual enrollment level. The Federal Government allows a variety of expenses to be included, but not all. Allowances for the following may be added upon request and with appropriate supporting documentation: dependent care, disability-related expenses, or the rental or purchase of a personal computer.
