Cost of Attendance 2011-2012

such as tuition and residential/nonresidential fees, plus estimates of
indirect costs, including living expenses (outside of Pacifica), books,
travel, personal, and miscellaneous expenses. The estimated figures of
the indirect costs listed are provided by The College Board and are

developed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These are only estimates.
