FEES FOR DISTANCE/ON LINE PROGRAMS – GRADUATE PROGRAMS
Most courses offered through distance/online programs are assessed the same tuition as on-campus MU courses. Distance students
are assessed the information technology fee and any applicable course fees. Distance students are not assessed campus fees (e.g.
recreation facility fees) but may opt to pay fees for access to services.
Graduate students: $350.10 per credit hour unless your school/college charges a higher rate for the online courses they
offer. Schools/colleges that charge higher rates are listed below. Graduate students who have been designated as distance students
pay in-state tuition or the higher rate charged by the program regardless of where they have residency. Graduate students who
have been designated as on-campus students and who do not have Missouri residency will also be assessed the graduate
nonresident fee: $587.30 per credit hour (in addition to the in-state tuition or higher rate charged by the program) if they take an
online class. Self-paced courses are assessed a $25 administrative fee per class.
