A Valuable Degree
By combining the quality of CU Boulder with the cost effectiveness of online education, the MSOL offers across-the-board value. Instead of setting high tuition rates and then offering discounts to select groups, we charge everyone tuition and fees significantly below comparable programs at comparable institutions.
Tuition and Fees
Tuition for the Master of Science in Organizational Leadership (MSOL) program is determined by your residency and assessed in addition to any other tuition paid on campus.

Tuition Due Dates
Bills become available in Buff Portal (CUBill&Pay for authorized payers) by the second Thursday of each month after you register for classes. Payment is due on the 5th of the following month. Postmarks and post-dated checks are not honored. Dates may be subject to change without notice.
See the Bursar’s Office website for important dates.
Veteran Services
In general, you may use the GI Bill for this program as long as you are a degree-seeking student at only one institution at a time. The GI Bill covers the in-state portion of our tuition, so if you are an out-of-state student, you will need to pay the rest out of pocket*. For more information, please contact the Military and Veteran Affairs office either via phone at 303-492-7322 or via email at veterans@colorado.edu.
*If you are a veteran who has served at least three years, you have access to a scholarship through the VA that will pay the out-of-state difference.
CU Boulder Employee Tuition Benefit
University of Colorado staff may not apply CU’s 9-credit tuition benefit toward the MSOL program. However, a tuition scholarship is available to permanent, full-time CU Boulder employees who are admitted and enroll. For additional information about this scholarship, email msol@colorado.edu.
