Cost of Attendance

Tuition and Fees

Tuition, fees, and room and meal rates are established by the Minnesota State Board of Trustees and are subject to revision.

SMSU bands undergraduate on-campus tuition and fees. For students who are enrolled in 12 to 18 credits, tuition and fees will be charged at a flat rate. On-campus undergraduate students enrolled in fewer than 12 credits will be charged on a per credit basis. Undergraduate students taking more than 18 credits will pay the banded rate for the first 18 credits plus the per credit rate for each additional credit taken over 18.

Programmatic tuition may be assessed for certain courses such as science lab courses, art studio courses, and culinology and hospitality lab courses.
