The cost of attendance (COA) is an estimate of what it typically costs for a student to attend Texas A&M University, covering both tuition and basic living expenses. These estimates are based on university data, student surveys, and local market research. It’s important to note that federal, state, and institutional financial aid cannot exceed this cost.

As a parent helping your student navigate their higher education journey, understanding the full cost of attendance is essential. When comparing financial aid packages from other schools, make sure to compare the total costs of attending each school, not just the aid offered. Texas A&M University provides resources to help you make an informed decision.

For detailed information on tuition and fees, you can use our Tuition Calculator. To accurately use the calculator, you’ll need the following information:

• Your student’s classification (undergraduate, graduate, or professional)
• Texas residency status
• Housing plans
• Tuition rate code
• Major

Keep in mind that tuition and fees can vary by major and rate code, and optional fees or adjustments may not be included in the COA. Additionally, students can view their specific COA in their financial aid portal through Howdy.

At Texas A&M, we take our commitment to higher education seriously and aim to provide you with the resources needed to support your student in this important decision.
