*Luter School of Business Fees: The Luter School of Business is a top-tier, AACSB-accredited school that offers an enhanced student experience. Differential fees provide for instructional costs; software enhancements; innovative technology; and professional development and networking experiences that result in more internship and job placement opportunities.
Books and supplies are additional out-of-pocket expenses. These expenses should not be included with payments for tuition and fees. Such expenses may range from $300 to $700 per semester, depending on your major and class load.
In addition to tuition and fees, there are other costs that should be considered when planning for college. Christopher Newport has developed an estimated Cost of Attendance that factors in direct costs like tuition and fees, as well as other indirect costs that won't be paid directly to the university. For more information about the estimated direct and indirect costs, please visit the Office of Financial Aid's Cost of Attendance page.
