Tuition and Fees
The rates below include the fall and spring semesters for a full-time student in a standard undergraduate rate program. Please visit the Tuition and Fees section the Student Accounts website for part-time, online, out-of-state reduced, and intersession rates.
FULL-TIME rates
Tuition and fees are not based on the level (graduate/undergraduate) of the course; tuition and fees are instead based on student level (graduate/ undergraduate), student residency (in state/out-of-state), student enrollment status (full-time or part-time), and if applicable, the course/program differential rate. A student who has earned a bachelor's degree and is not formally admitted to a second undergraduate program will be considered a graduate level student.
