Tuition & Fees

How much should a good education cost? Well, at Farmingdale it costs a lot less than you might expect. In fact, a Farmingdale degree is a bargain in two distinct ways:

1. It's inexpensive - less than $4,000 a year if you're a New York State resident and you live off campus. So you won't have to start your new career saddled with college loans the size of a home mortgage.

2. It pays for itself. With a college degree, you can expect to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars more during your life than you would without one (the average starting salary for all recent Farmingdale associate degree graduates is $27,561, and $34,565 for those with our bachelor degrees).

Still don't think you can afford it? Talk to us - we listen to the tune of about $8 million every year. In addition to such Federal and State programs as PELL and TAP, there are a large number of scholarships, awards, grants and private loans available, and College Work-Study programs as well.

Nearly 75% of entering freshmen receive financial assistance - if you truly need help, chances are you'll get it. To find out for sure, schedule an appointment with one of our financial aid counselors by calling or writing us at:
