Tuition and Fees
Tuition and fee rates are set annually by the Teachers College Board of Trustees. In the 2024-2025 academic year, tuition for all regular courses is $2,049 per point. Non-credit courses vary in rate, usually depending on the minimum number of points for which the particular course is offered and the special services provided.
Columbia University's tuition is assessed at a per-point or flat rate determined annually by the University's Board of Trustees. Each school's rate may vary.
