Also I don’t think Duquesne’s NPC takes into account the difference in tuition between the programs.
Basic Undergraduate Tuition is listed as $33,778 and with room and board that is closer to the $42 K number you had. But Health Sciences and Pre-pharmacy tuition for example is much higher $38,929.
I use the NPC to see what we might qualify for from the college as far as grants, scholarships. Then I look at the latest tuition and R&B figures and see if it might be affordable.
I do take into account that it is more of a ballpark figure, but it helps to compare bottom line between colleges.
