Tuition and other fees for the 2007-2008 year are the following:
Fall 2007: $18,354
Spring 2008: $18,354
For students in the Departments of Cinema Studies (not including the MIAP program) and Performance Studies, tuition and fees for full-time course work are calculated on a per-point basis:
2007-2008: Tuition per point: $1,148 Nonreturnable registration and services fees for fall 2007: $347 for the first point; $57 for each additional point. Nonreturnable registration and services fees for spring 2008: $362 for the first point; $56 for each additional point.
Additional expenses that may be applicable to all graduate students include University mandatory health insurance fees, which for 2007-2008 averaged $1,876 depending on the type of coverage. Performance Studies students enrolled in summer courses have a range of additional fees from $373 to $556. Design students should anticipate the purchase of a drafting table and basic art supplies. Second- and third-year estimates assume ongoing art supplies.
Film Production students must pay laboratory and equipment insurance fees of approximately $681 per semester. Those who are directors of student projects may incur production costs above and beyond what is reasonably supplied by the school (in the way of cameras, equipment, stock, soundstage facilities, postproduction rooms for editing and sound mixing, processing, and other resources). On average, additional costs have been estimated as follows: $2,000 to $5,000 for the first year; $5,000 to $15,000 for the second year; $15,000 and up for the third-year (thesis). It is possible to keep these costs down, but the great majority of student directors spend the indicated amounts.
All Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) students must pay a laboratory and equipment fee per semester. This fee covers the full use of ITP computer facilities and equipment. Additional costs may be incurred for materials as students develop their own projects.
A number of payment options, including a tuition installment plan, are offered through New York University's Office of the Bursar.
