AUCA publishes this figure without stating which year it applies to, so it may already be out of date. Treat it as a starting point and check the course page for the current rate. Flag it below if you know it has changed.

AUCA's dedicated "Tuition Payment" and "Tuition, fees & payment" pages do not print a figure (the former defers to an unpublished internal annual order; the latter is specifically the Summer School fee schedule). The one concrete number AUCA's official site does publish for regular-semester tuition is on its Exchange Students page, which states exchange-student tuition equals AUCA's own undergraduate rate: $2,850 per semester ($5,700/year on the standard two-semester year). The rate is not nationality-differentiated -- AUCA does not appear to publish a separate, higher international-student rate -- though most Kyrgyz nationals receive need-based financial aid that lowers their effective cost well below this sticker rate. No academic year is stated against the figure on this page.
