Graduate and Professional Degree Tuition & Fees

Opportunities to engage in cutting-edge research, creative scholarship and trendsetting professional programs come with a price. If you’re going to make one investment in your life, let it be your education.

A UND degree doesn’t have to break the bank but it helps to understand your program costs and the financial aid opportunities to cover them.

Graduate Program Tuition

UND's tuition rates are based on the following:

Where you live
The type of degree you seek (including whether the program is delivered on-campus or online)
The number of credits you take
If you have military, veteran or dependent status

If you're comparing UND's costs to other schools, keep in mind:

Most of UND's program, course and other mandatory fees are rolled into the tuition rates so you know your costs upfront.
Unless otherwise noted, tuition rates are based on 12 credits per fall and spring semesters and 9 credits for the summer term. UND's tuition is capped at these rates for on-campus students. This means an on-campus student taking 15 credits in the fall semester will only pay for 12 credits. (It's like getting extra credits for free!)
Students in online programs pay per credit, regardless of residency or number of credits taken.

Other schools may present costs a little differently so make sure you're comparing apples to apples.

UND School of Law offers two Joint Degree Programs with the UND College of Business and Public Administration. Students earn either their MPA or MBA alongside their J.D. Students pay both Law tuition on the Law credits and Graduate tuition on the Graduate credits. Depending upon the combination and number of credits between the two programs, the tuition could be more or less when compared to being in only one of the programs full time. In most cases the student will be paying more tuition.

Mandatory fees (ConnectND, NDSA, technology, and student fees) for both programs are per credit and cap at 12 credits per program/degree. Therefore, a student enrolled in the Joint Degree program will always pay more in fees than a student in only one degree program. Since these students are in two careers and receiving two degrees, the fees cap at 12 credits for each program, not 12 credits total.

Other Tuition Rates & Fee Information

Active Duty Military (applicable for undergraduate students only)

All active duty military members using federal Tuition Assistance (TA) benefits are eligible for a tuition rate of $250 per credit for undergraduate courses and programs. The tuition rate will be billed at the program’s rate and will be adjusted to the active duty military rate after the student submits the Tuition Assistance Form each semester.

The active duty military rate is not valid for any Aerospace, Engineering, Graduate, Law and Medical Programs or self-paced, enroll anytime online courses. However, all active duty enrolled in these programs/courses will receive the North Dakota in-state tuition rate. Students can still use their TA benefits by submitting their TA forms to One-Stop Student Services. We also encourage students to apply for other scholarships.

Veterans & Dependents

Regardless of actual residency status, the following qualify for the North Dakota in-state tuition rate for on-campus programs:

Veterans
North Dakota National Guard Members
Members of Armed Forces Reserve component stations in North Dakota
Dependents (spouses/children) of the above
UND-contracted ROTC cadets also receive in-state tuition rates.

If you enroll in an online program, you'll be billed the standard online tuition rate for that program. Online programs are not dependent on residency.

Mandatory fees support costs that are associated with services, activities, facilities and infrastructure that support students outside the classroom. Fees are required for on-campus and online students.

These mandatory fee amounts are included in the tuition costs listed above.

UND Student Fees - $539.64 per semester (max, fall), $707.64 per semester (max, spring)
Technology Fee - $72 per semester (max)

NDSA Fee - $0.48 per semester (max)

Additional fees may be assessed for new incoming students, flight costs/aviation, study abroad, music lessons, marching band, student teaching expenses or select physical education course rental expenses.

New Incoming Student Fee

All incoming undergraduate students will pay a one-time, nonrefundable new incoming student fee ($200) to cover the costs of services and events such as New Student Orientation, Welcome Weekend and the U Card (student ID). The fee will be assessed with their first-semester tuition costs.

Incoming graduate, law, medical, collaborative, LAUNCH and non-degree students are exempt from the new student fee. UND employees who begin an undergraduate degree program will be charged the new student fee.

Auditing a Class

Fee for auditing a class (taking for no credit) will be 50% of the regular, per hour tuition charge of the same course. Mandatory fees are not charged.

Continuing Enrollment (applicable for graduate students only)

For graduate students finishing their dissertation or thesis, a Continuing Enrollment fee is billed at $100 per credit hour; regular tuition is not charged for Continuing Enrollment credits and mandatory fees are not charged; not eligible for financial aid.

A collaborative student is one who is earning their degree from UND and chooses to enroll in courses at another North Dakota University System (NDUS) institution within the same term. The institution from which the student is earning a degree is considered the "home institution." The institution(s) that supplies courses for a degree is considered the "provider institution(s)."

The student pays tuition/fees at their Home Institution for the Collaborative Courses. The cost information is received from the Provider Institution. This additional amount will be included on the student's account balance at UND. Collaborative courses are not subject to the UND tuition cap.

Collaborative Registration Information

Changes to tuition and fees are governed by State Board of Higher Education (SBHE) Policy 805.1 and 805.3. Waiver of mandatory fees is governed by SBHE Policy 820.

Tuition rates are based on 12 credits per semester for fall and spring, unless otherwise noted. Tuition rates for summer are based on 9 credits per semester, unless otherwise noted.

Note: For the 2020-21 academic year, UND will move to a new tuition model to increase transparency and simplicity for students. One of the new model's benefits is that most program and course fees have been rolled into the tuition rates so students know what to expect on their bills. Please see Tuition Model FAQs for full details.
