Graduate Cost of Attendance

Graduate Cost of Attendance 2023-2024 Academic Year

Estimated costs and expenses are used for determining financial aid eligibility. Amounts below are based upon 9 hours of full-time enrollment for a two-semester (fall and spring) standard academic year at Mizzou. Categories of the Cost of Attendance may be prorated based upon a student enrolling on a part-time basis. Part-time tuition costs are prorated based upon the Cashiers’ Tuition & Fees.

The estimated Cost of Attendance includes:

  • Estimated direct costs (including tuition and fees; on-campus housing and meals)
  • Estimated indirect costs (including books and supplies; transportation; and personal expenses)

The cost of attending Mizzou will vary for students based upon the degree program, housing selection, course fees, and individual needs.

Calculating Your COA

Your tuition tier is based on your academic program. Use our tuition tool on the Cashiers website to look up your program. On the results table, look for the “Total Per Semester” row for your semester balance. Multiplied by two, that’s your estimated yearly cost for the “Tuition & fees” category on the tables below.
