The Cost of Attendance is the cornerstone of establishing your financial need, and it sets a limit on the total aid that you may receive. It consists of both Direct Costs, (those paid directly to McDaniel), and Indirect Costs, those which are incidental to your attendance at McDaniel.
We use average expenses, rather than actual expenses, to determine approximately what it will cost you to attend school and live for a given enrollment period.
The below estimated cost of attendance excludes the M.S. in Occupational Therapy and M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology. Refer to the next section below for more information on Estimated Cost of Attendance for these programs.
