It definitely should be more clear on the admissions web pages. I didn’t get the right total cost numbers originally, either, an issue I didn’t encounter at any other school my son considered. Physics does look like a real bargain for a top 10 program at the in-state base LAS tuition rates before those extra mandatory fees! My son ended up applying to Engineering Physics so it didn’t matter. On the plus side, LAS Physics majors do get the perks of the Engineering department, including facilities, research and job placement, which may come in handy even for summer internships and co-op programs.
