2026-2027 Hofstra Law Program Cost of Attendance
The cost of attendance (COA) is an estimate of the total amount of your educational expenses for the period of enrollment during an award year. It is reviewed each year by the Office of Financial Aid and includes actual and approximate costs that students can expect to incur during their academic year. The COA is based on your enrollment status, your program of study, and whether you live on or off campus while attending the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University. It comprises both direct and indirect expenses, which means your actual charges for tuition and fees, as well as food and housing if you live on campus and/or select an on-campus dining option, and additional estimated expenses such as transportation and personal costs are included. Some students may experience costs that are higher or lower than those published.
Additional information regarding how the COA is calculated, as well as COA component definitions, can be found on the Calculating Cost of Attendance definitions page. Please contact the Law School’s Office of Financial Aid with any questions about the COA.
