Why is Liceo de Arte-Dise-O y Comercio's net price so much lower than tuition?
At Liceo de Arte-Dise-O y Comercio, published tuition is $12,226 while average net price is $9,278—about 24% lower.

EDsmart Data treats the sticker–net gap as an analytical finding, not advice about individual aid offers.
