2024–25 Graduate Tuition and Fees

All tuition, fees, and other charges stated in this publication are payable in U.S. dollars ($US). The following charges do not apply to undergraduate courses.

If enrolled in a combination of undergraduate courses (numbered 0000–4999) and graduate courses (numbered 6000–7999), you will be charged according to each category. In other words, the total credits taken in courses numbered 0000–4999 will be charged according to the undergraduate rate schedule without regard to the number of credits taken in 6000–7999 level courses.

In general, your courses will be charged the rate associated with the discipline or school offering the course instead of being based on the degree program you are pursuing. Doctoral students who take 6000-level courses within their school/ department are charged at the doctoral rate. If doctoral students take 6000-level courses from other schools/departments they are charged at that program rate.

Explanation of Costs

  • Direct Costs are the charges billed to the students by the university. These include tuition, fees, housing and food.
  • Total Cost of Attendance (COA) are the direct costs plus indirect costs. The financial aid office estimates indirect costs for items such as books, supplies, personal expenses and transportation. A student's financial aid package will reflect a combination of aid up to the Total Cost of Attendance.
  • Tuition is based on full-time attendance for three quarters (fall, winter & spring) and will vary if a student is less than full-time or in a self supporting program.
  • Fees include the technology fee.
  • Housing expenses can be reduced with room type, residential area, and meal plan choice
  • Additional Expenses: estimates for books and supplies, transportation and personal expenses are not billed by the university and will vary based on the student.
