Important Announcement regarding costs for out-of-state students
In an effort to alleviate financial burdens on out-of-state students and to ensure the availability of a high-quality education to students from a wide range of financial backgrounds, we have arranged a reduction in costs for out-of-state students.
This adjustment will make our average cost quite competitive for out-of-state students, coming in at around a thousand dollars less per semester than the average for public universities.
