At Lasell we strive to contain costs while simultaneously providing a high quality learning experience. In 2015, among the 53 traditional four-year private colleges in Massachusetts, Lasell’s undergraduate tuition and fees were among the lowest, with over 75 percent charging more (nces.ed.gov/IPEDS).

But our costs are not always your costs. Your education actually costs more than we charge! Every student benefits from the generosity of our alumnae and donors who help subsidize the cost of education for all students. Additionally, we provide direct financial aid to over 80 percent of our students. For 2015-16, our undergraduate tuition, fees, room and board, totaled $45,250. See below for what families actually paid.
