About

By 2000-2001, most programs charged tuition fees on a per-class basis except for health sciences programs which continued to charge an annual flat rate. The tuition numbers beginning in 2000 reflect either the actual annual flat rate or an estimate based on a full course load.

All colleges increased tuition fees for upper-year students in 1960. The fees shown here were for first year students.

Detailed tuition schedules are available from 2000 to date through the tuition and fees website.
