The only way to get your real number is the school's official Net Price Calculator; run it before you judge affordability.

How to lower your net cost

  • File the FAFSA (and the CSS Profile if The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art requires it) by the priority deadline — aid is often first-come.
  • Run The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art's Net Price Calculator for an estimate based on your family's finances.
  • Compare your net cost across schools, not the sticker — a pricier school can be cheaper after aid.
Always verify the current cycle. Admit rates, test policies, and costs change every year. Treat the figures here as the most recent official data, and confirm specifics on The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art's own admissions and financial-aid pages before you rely on them.
