I have never seen a website that listed the 4-year amount, because 4 years is an arbitrary number. However, as others have said, there can be a variety of other factors that go into a posted amount. It can be by semester, year, in-state (vs. out-of-state), tuition only or tuition & fees. On top of that, you have to consider room & board costs, plus books/supplies and transportation. Finally, while some colleges might seem to cost more, they might offer more students scholarships and financial aid. So it takes a lot of research and digging to get the full financial picture.
I wound up making an Excel spreadsheet in order to better compare the costs at different colleges. Otherwise, those websites could be comparing "apples and oranges."

It is for 1 year.

Read the websites carefully. They should specify if the amount they list is per credit/unit, per semester, per 4-year degree program, etc. Not all students would take the same number of credits, so it would be misleading to just put a flat rate per semester or year without specifying the per credit/unit cost. If the website is unclear, call the finance or administration office of the school.

Usually tuition is listed either per ONE year or usually per semester/quarter. Call the financial aid office if you are unsure.
