<p>Is the cost of BA/MD programs generally lower than the cost of regular, 4-year college? </p>
<p>For example, BU costs 40000 a year for a normal education. If I was in the BA/MD program, would it cost less?</p>
<p>I’m thinking it would cost more since I have to take more classics in that amount of time.</p>
<p>nope, its the same (including financial aid and scholarships which would count for both)</p>
<p>Actually, it would cost ‘less’ in the sense that many such combined programs will award bachelor’s degree in earlier than 4 years (often times around year 3), hence you end up paying for less years of college.</p>
