GRADUATE TUITION RATES (Effective Fall 2024)
This graduate tuition plan establishes a base tuition rate of $1069 per credit but offers some rate exceptions as listed below. Base rate exceptions include tuitions that are higher or lower than the base due to various factors, including competitive market research, program focus and historical enrollment success, and program type (e.g., degree vs. non-degree). Over 90% of our programs fall under the base rate.
Sustaining tuition fee each semester for master’s students is $833 and doctoral students is $1,258. U.S. citizens may apply for Stafford Loans. You must file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) no later than March 15 (February 1st is preferred) with the Financial Aid Office (302-831-8761) to be considered for a Federal Stafford Loan.
