We want everyone who has the drive to attend AIC to be able to afford their education. For that reason, we are transparent about the costs you can expect as an AIC student.
Below you’ll find our tuition and other costs for undergraduate and graduate students. Keep in mind that 99% of our full-time undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid or grants, so your total cost may be significantly lower than our full tuition. We want to make this journey achievable for you. To estimate your total AIC cost, use our net price calculator.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts mandates that all matriculated full-time and three-quarter-time students attending an institution of higher education who are not enrolled solely in short-term courses or in an online program must be enrolled in a qualifying Student Health Plan that meets established minimum benefit guidelines. The minimum benefit guidelines can be found on the Massachusetts Health Connector.
All students who meet the eligibility requirements are automatically enrolled in and charged for the AIC Student Health Insurance Plan.
AIC automatically applies the insurance fee but it may be waived during the add-drop period of the initial term for the year if the student has comparable coverage with another carrier. A 12-month plan, the insurance covers the period between August 1st and July 31st of the following year. The cost of insurance is subject to annual increases.
*This is a brief overview of the plan and additional terms and conditions apply. Contact Student Accounts for complete plan information. Policy information is posted on the my.aic.edu portal. Rates are typically not available until early June.
All students who elect to leave American International College for reasons other than graduation MUST officially withdraw from the institution.
Students who withdraw prior to the end of the add/drop period for the term (or session) will receive a 100% reversal of tuition, fees, residence hall and meal charges. Undergraduate students who withdraw during the add/drop period will be charged a $750 withdrawal fee.
A limited pro-rate schedule specific to each academic calendar is applied for all withdrawals from the college that occur after the add/drop period. The refund schedules are posted on the Office of Student Accounts section of the myAIC Portal.
