Undergraduate Tuition Costs

AIC was founded on the principles of providing access to higher education and removing barriers. We continue those traditions today—99% of full-time undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid.

Below you’ll find our tuition and other costs for undergraduate and graduate students before aid. We want to make this journey achievable for you.

On average, undergraduate students only pay $23,000 after scholarships, grants, and other aid—and many students pay even less based on scholarship eligibility, grants, and expected family contribution (EFC). Here are some examples of what you might pay based on your unique situation:

Example #1: Springfield commuter and Presidential Scholarship recipient with EFC of 0

Tuition and Fees $44,230
Presidential Scholarship $27,000
Pell Grant $7,395
Mass Grant $3,000
Student Loans* $5,500*
Total Out-of-Pocket Cost $1,335


Example #2: Residential student and Dean Scholarship recipient with EFC of $15,000

Tuition, Fees, and Housing/Dining $60,980
Dean Scholarship $23,000
Grants and Scholarships $12,000
Student Loans* $5,500*
Total Out-of-Pocket Cost $20,480


*Student loans must be repaid. Processing fees may apply.

Student Health Insurance

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.

Withdrawal from the College

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.

Financial Aid Cost of Attendance (COA) for 2024-2025

The financial aid cost of attendance (COA) for a student serves as an estimate of that student’s educational expenses for the period of enrollment. The COA serves as the foundation for evaluating an individual’s financial need, as it establishes the limit on total aid that a student may receive for purposes of scholarships, grants, work, and loans. The COA is also fundamental in calculating Pell Grant valuation.
