How this comparison is calculated
- All results use Arizona-resident, full-time undergraduate estimates for 2026–2027.
- Tuition, mandatory fees, housing and food, books, transportation, and personal expenses are shown separately.
- Published Cost of Attendance is a planning estimate, not necessarily the amount billed by the institution.
- Program, course, aviation, laboratory, differential, and optional fees may increase actual cost.
- Merit scholarship ranges are displayed separately unless the student enters confirmed aid.
- NAU’s living-with-family amount uses the supplied food allowance as a planning proxy because an official family-living total was not separately itemized.
Estimates are for planning and comparison only. Actual tuition, fees, aid, housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses vary by program, campus, enrollment, eligibility, and student choices. Students should confirm final figures with each institution.
