Net Price Calculator

This calculator is intended to provide estimated net price information (defined as estimated cost of attendance — including tuition and required fees, books and supplies, and other related expenses — minus estimated grant, scholarship aid, and projected loans) to current and prospective students and their families based on what similar students paid in a previous year. 

By clicking below, I acknowledge that the estimate provided using this calculator does not represent an actual offer of financial assistance or a final net price. It is an estimate based on cost of attendance and financial aid provided to students in a previous year. Cost of attendance and financial aid availability change year to year. These estimates shall not be binding on the Secretary of Education, the institution of higher education, or the State.

The estimates below apply to full-time, degree-seeking undergraduate students only. If you are a Pennsylvania resident, your total includes an estimated Pennsylvania State Grant based on the income and family size reported. Please note that the estimates generated apply to U.S. citizens and permanent residents only; international students should contact the College at admissions@pcad.edu.

100% of our full-time students enrolling for college for the first time received scholarships, and more than 68% receive grants from federal, state and institutional sources. Students are also eligible for student loans and work-study. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to determine their eligibility for Federal financial aid that includes Federal grant, loan, or work-study assistance. For more information on applying for Federal student aid, go to http://studentaid.gov.

For 2023-2024, tuition and fees at PCA&D are $29,250 per year. All other costs (such as housing, food, books and supplies, healthcare, transportation, personal miscellaneous expenses) will vary depending on a number of factors, but are estimated for your convenience.
