Program Costs

Cost of Attendance

All Summer Bridge scholars will enroll in 6 credits during the summer half-term. The estimated cost of attendance for the 2024 summer half-term for a full time student (6 - 9 credits) is $8,862 for a Michigan resident and $19,073 for a non-Michigan resident. These estimates include the cost of tuition and mandatory fees, housing and meals, books and supplies, and other personal and miscellaneous expenses.

Please note that the Comprehensive Studies Program does not determine the cost of attendance. These decisions are made by the university.
