College Expenses Saint Mary College is a private institution. The tuition a student pays covers approximately forty-five percent of the cost of a Saint Mary education.
Private gifts meet the difference between the full cost and the actual tuition charges.
Parents who are able to contribute to the college's educational mission are encouraged to do so by participating in the annual giving program. The College reserves the right to revise its charges at the beginning of any semester. The charges published above are for the college year 2000 - 2001. This payment is not refundable. The initial payment covering the first five months of the college year is due at the beginning of the fall semester.
