Hunter College Courses and Fees 2026

Most students are covered partially if not fully by financial aid if you are living in NYC. The tuition is around 6k a semester which is considerably cheaper than private schools. There are scholarships available but very few from what I've seen on the campus website. I am fully covered by financial aid and I receive a 150$ merit scholarship from NYC. Every semester for academic wellness. It's not much but it is better than anything. I don't remember applying for this scholarship, I just saw it while I was browsing my financial aid. My school offers scholar programs in your field of study that offer a bit of financial assistance (1k if I'm not mistaken) but you need to apply once you get accepted and not many people know about it.

I applied to hunter college when I was a senior in high school because it had a good reputation for a CUNY school. CUNY schools in NYC are located in the city and cheaper than your traditional private college and it was the main reason I applied. the admission process was easy. I also applied to 4 other CUNY schools because you could apply to them under the same application with no additional application fee. I also applied to private schools and SUNY. I was accepted to 11/12 schools; denied for Columbia and waitlisted for NYU. when I applied I had a 1480 SAT 31 ACT and 93 GPA.

The course curriculum is excellent. We are able to take academically challenging classes that regard to our major and also be a part of classes that we find interesting for our electives. The choices we have the classes we take are a good amount of options.

The fees of my college are the same fees that any other CUNY school student must pay. Included in this area technology fees for things such as printing and the use of school facilities and there are also charges for textbooks.

I think that the concentrations for the English literature language and criticism major could use some more leniency because I ended up taking some classes I was a lot less interested in just because they fit certain criteria, and I felt I missed out on taking more classes I was interested in.

For in-state tuition, I believe it is around 3500 per semester or possibly less which isn't very expensive for anyone who has to pay out of pocket or possibly take out loans. Financial aid covered my tuition in full which it wouldn't do at other schools. Also, CUNY gives you ample time to pay your bill before they drop you.
