Tuition & Fees

MAU Tuition & Fees: Financial Overview

• Total Tuition Estimate is based on an average course load, and because tuition is charged on a per semester credit hour basis, the total will vary depending on the number of credit hours taken during each semester. Typical undergraduate course load is 12 to 15 credit hours, and a typical graduate course load is 9 to 12 credit hours per semester. The estimate listed above is calculated at 12 credit hours per regular semester for an undergraduate student, and 9 credit hours per regular semester for a graduate student.
• The fee for Books and Supplies is listed as an approximate figure to be paid each semester, based on the University’s arrangement with an educational service provider and the total number of credit hours per semester. Books and supplies are provided at a reduced rate of $25 per semester credit hour.
• The Fixed Fees are associated with all degree programs. These fees are subject to review and modification, and cover a variety of services offered by the University to all students, including, but not limited to: student ID/campus access card, student email, parking, technology support services, lab fees, credit card payment processing fees, library access, electronic library services, wi-fi access, examination date modification, printing, student activities, gym access, and graduation costs. Students enrolled in one to eight semester credit hours, including students engaged in hybrid instruction, will be charged a fixed fee of $330. Students, enrolled in nine semester credit hours or more, including those engaged in hybrid instruction, will be charged a fixed fee of $660. There are no fixed fees or fees for books associated with students enrolled in an online program.
• The Total Tuition + Materials & Fixed Fees Estimate, as far as books and supplies, assumes an undergraduate student is enrolled in four courses, or 12 semester credit hours at $75 per three credit hour course totaling $300; and a graduate student is enrolled in three courses, or 9 semester credit hours at $75 per three credit hour course totaling $225 per regular semester.
• The Total Tuition + Materials & All Fees Estimate additionally includes the application and registration fee, however, these fees are not charged each semester for continuously enrolled students.
• A student identification card is issued at orientation and also serves as a key pass entry to the school building. If the card is lost by the student or damaged the replacement fee is $35 and is non-refundable.
• Portfolio Assessment Fee: Students applying for Credit for Prior Learning will be charged a $200 Portfolio Fee at the time their portfolio is submitted or validation test is taken, if applicable.
