The cost of attendance represents the total estimated cost of attending The University of Pennsylvania's Master of Communication and Media Industries (MCMI) . It includes both direct costs—such as tuition and fees, which appear on your student bill—and indirect costs—such as living expenses, books and supplies, etc. which are not billed by Penn.

These expenses are included in the COA only for academic terms in which the student is actively enrolled and participating in their program. Living expenses may not be included for periods of non-enrollment, leave of absence, or after program completion.
