2025-2026 cost of attendance

[CA Mustang]

Has SMU announced the estimated total cost of attendance for next year? I'm asking because USC just announced theirs will be $99K+ (tuition is $73K) while Duke is at $96K for total cost.

Duke and USC are on a different pedestal than SMU academically. Likely we eclipse them in the
tuition department.

As a junior transfer from KIlgore College in 1972, I paid about $1600 per semester. Also worked at Brookshire's grocery while going to Kilgore College to save SMU tuition, and had construction summer jobs back home while at SMU. Oh yeah, I had a T.E.G. (tuition equalization grant) of $600 per year. Also had a P.S.L. (parential student loan) occasionally. College tuition is running circles around the inflation rate.
