Estimated Costs per Program
Tuition and Fees
The table below details the estimated cost per year for each graduate program at Naropa. Since tuition can be expected to increase 3-7% each year, we have used a 5% increase in estimating the tuition for subsequent years. In calculating your cost, be sure to take into consideration the financial aid you will receive for the academic year.
