7、学费
(https://gsas.columbia.edu/student-guide/financing-your-education/cost-attendance-2018-2019)
Tuition for the Department of Statistics is determined by the Resident Unit that you register for along with the classes.(按照RU为单位收费,point是学分,course是课程)
International students on an F-1 visa must register for one Full Residence Unit during each of their first two semesters, and for an Extended Residence Unit in their third semester,(如下) even if they take fewer than four courses per semester. As this program typically takes 3 terms to complete, a visa-holding MA Statistics student registers for 2 RUs in the first two terms and then ER for all the terms until completion of the program.(所有国际生,前两个学期都必须注册1个RU,无论课程数或学分数有没有达到1个RU标准)
² Semester 1 – 1 RU-$34,392
² Semester 2 – 1 RU-$34,392
² Semester 3 – ER (Extended Residency)*-$13,076
² Total – $81860
Living Expenses 住宿费 (2018-2019学年 正好三个学期)
² Room and Board – $18,252
² Personal expenses – $3,626
² Books and supplies – $2,000
² Transportation – $1,809
² Total – $25687
University Fee 学杂费 $1785
Health and Insurance Fees医疗保险(单学期最低)$4208(美研部 姜宜涵老师/整理)
