Cost of Attendance

Offering students a great, yet affordable education is a hallmark of our institution. As one of the nation’s best colleges for return on investment, we are forever committed to providing opportunity to all students who are eager to learn, grow and attain success.

Please note:

Our full-time undergraduate students taking 12-17 credit hours pay a flat tuition fee. The cost of attendance is for full-time enrollment and will be adjusted for less-than-full-time enrollment or single-term enrollment. Loan fees are added to the cost of attendance if students accept federal direct loan funds.
Housing and food estimate based on average housing expense and 21 meals per week meal plan.
- Please note, first-year students are required to live on-campus and have a meal plan according to Board of Governor’s policy unless they meet certain criteria. Students who plan to commute should submit a first-year residency waiver once admitted.
An additional one-time Orientation and Truman Week fee of $350 is assessed for incoming freshmen and $150 for incoming transfer students.
