Tuition and Fees
Tuition for 2009-10 will be $1,117 per credit. This rate will be in effect until August 2010 for our master's students. Even though tuition increases every summer, our master's students are locked in to the current rate for one calendar year. If a student registers for courses beyond the following August, they will pay the new rate, which is estimated to be an increase of approximately 5.5%.
Program fees are fixed fees, and will only be charged one time, on the fall semester bill.
Summer tuition will be due on July 10. Fall semester tuition will be due by the end of October. Spring semester tuition will be due by mid-March. Summer 2010 tuition will be due at the end of that May.
