Nonresident Undergraduate Estimated Expenses Untitled Document


You and your family are making an important decision and a financial commitment for you to pursue a college education. While our tuition rates are well below those of many private institutions, we recognize that our out-of-state tuition is a considerable investment--one that we are confident will pay you a lifetime of dividends.

Four-Year Guaranteed Nonresident Tuition Rates
A concern we hear from students and parents is the unpredictability of tuition increases over a four-year program.

Accordingly, we are pleased to announce a guaranteed tuition rate program for undergraduate students paying out-of-state tuition. We guarantee that your tuition will be constant for four full years. You do not need to take any action to participate in the guarantee. Learn more about the guarantee >>
