Graduate cost of attendance

The cost of a graduate education at the University of Missouri varies from student to student and from program to program. Obtain tuition and fee information from the school or college you plan to attend:

Budgets used by the Office of Student Financial Aid in determining eligibility for financial aid include:

1. Direct university charges:

  • tuition
  • non-resident tuition
  • on-campus room and board

2. Estimates of indirect expenses:

  • books and supplies
  • off-campus room and board
  • personal expenses
  • transportation expenses

MU uses average budgets in the initial determination of need. Because we use averages, the figures used by the Office of Student Financial Aid may vary slightly from other published figures.

* The university reserves the right to modify, by increase or decrease, the tuition and fees charged for attendance and other services at the university at any time when in the discretion of the governing board the same is in the best interest of the university, provided that no increases can or will be effective unless approved by the governing board not less than 30 days prior to the beginning of the academic term (semester, etc.) to which the tuition and fees are applicable, with all modification of tuition and fees to be effective irrespective as to whether tuition and fees have been paid by or on behalf of a student prior to the effective date of the modification.
