Boston College raised its annual cost of attendance by 3.78 percent for the 2026–27 academic year—setting the new figure at $95,258. 

The University cost of attendance includes tuition, fees, room, and board. Undergraduate tuition for the next academic year is slated to be $75,070, a 3.76 percent increase from the previous year.

“The Board of Trustees has set undergraduate tuition for the 2026-2027 academic year at $75,070 as part of a 3.76 percent increase in tuition, fees, room, and board, bringing the overall annual cost of attendance at Boston College to $95,258,” the University announced in a release.

Along with the tuition increase, the Board of Trustees also voted to increase need-based undergraduate financial aid by 4 percent to help offset the elevated tuition.

The new financial aid budget now reaches nearly $200 million annually. 

“Trustees voted to enhance need-based undergraduate financial aid by 4 percent, or $7.6 million, to a total of $197.7 million,” the release reads.

This decision aims to continue BC’s vow to meet 100 percent of the demonstrated need for its domestic undergraduate population.

“The average need-based financial aid package is projected to exceed $65,000 in 2026-2027,” the release states. “Overall, more than 67 percent of Boston College undergraduates receive financial aid.”

Despite these changes, Boston College recently fell from 52nd to 54th place in the U.S. News and World Report’s “Best Value” category.

In addition to changes in undergraduate tuition, the release also announced tuition increases for Boston College’s law and MBA graduate programs. 

“The Board of Trustees set tuition for graduate programs for the 2026-2027 academic year, including Boston College Law ($75,280), and the full-time MBA program in the Carroll School of Management ($70,390),” the release reads.
