Everglades University is a private not-for-profit institution, so students should look beyond the $21,680 in tuition and fees to the full cost of attendance, including housing, meals, books, and personal expenses. What students actually pay can vary widely based on financial need, scholarships, and other aid, so families should compare the published price with their estimated net cost.
