How to Figure Tuition and Fees
 
   
Click here for the Tuition Estimator
 
   
Tuition cost = (number of credit hours x tuition per hour) + Fees + Out of State Fees (if apply)  
   
Examples:
In-state Undergraduate = (15 credit hours x $134 per hour) + $401.00 (Fees) = $2,411.00 per semester

In-state Graduate
= (3 credit hours x $176 per hour) + $211.00 (Fees) = $739.00 per semester

Out-of-state Undergraduate
= (12 credit hours x $268 per hour) + $401.00 (Fees) = $3,617.00 per semester

Out-of-state Graduate
= (3 credit hours x $352 per hour) + $211.00 (Fees) = $1,267.00 per semester
