Tuition and Fees
The tuition charges assessed do not cover the full instructional and operational costs involved in educating a student. The University receives additional funding from several sources including contributions by private individuals and corporations who recognize the quality of education provided by the University.
The University operates an extensive financial assistance program, with more than one-half of all full-time students receiving some form of financial assistance. Visit the Office of Student Finance for more details.
Tuition and fee rates are established by the Board of Trustees. These amounts are subject to change without notice.
