Estimated Tuition and Expenses

Tuition and fees are calculated on an annual basis for a graduate student carrying 12 credits per semester. Visit http://www.umass.edu/bursar/graduate for up-to-date information and tuition and fee updates. Tuition and fees are prorated for fewer than 12 credits. Graduate Assistants with a Graduate Employee Organization (GEO) tuition waiver pay annually about $1,399 in mandatory fees.

In order to enroll as a Massachusetts resident for tuition and fee purposes, a student must have on file a Residency Statement. Students originally classified as nonresident who believe they have met the residency requirements may appeal their classification before the beginning of the semester. Forms are available from the Graduate School.

The Summer Session tuition charges and fees are stated in the Summer Session course listing at www.umassulearn.net.
