First Semester (12 credits required): $6,406.25
After first semester, can do 9 credits at $4,865.65.

It's a 60 credit program, so at 12 credit hours, it's 5 semesters. $32,031.25 in tuition.

Figure $300-$400 a semester in books on top of that, and several hundred dollars a year for health insurance.

As for expenses, it depends on how you live. If you get a rice cooker, you can buy 8KG of rice at Wal-Mart for $8.47. At 1600 KCal per day, you're talking over 15 days worth of food. On the other hand, if you like meat or cheese, it will be very expensive.

For reference, my wife and I pay $1,450 per month in rent, spend $1,000-$1,200 a month on groceries, $230 a month for car insurance, $300 or so on gas and travel, and $30 or so when we go out to eat for Sushi. We live a reasonably high standard of living, though.

If you want to get a good idea of what it costs, you can look at WelcomeBC's cost of living calculator.
