Graduate Tuition & Fees
Graduate tuition is determined per credit, residency status and location. Although many opt for off-campus housing, graduate students can choose to live in University residence halls and purchase a meal plan. The Residence Life Office lists out the costs for each type of residence hall room and available meal plans.
