Costs
The chart below is based on 30 credit hours, the average number of hours completed by undergraduate students. The room and board rate is based on a standard residence hall and unlimited/$100 flex meal plan.
Please note that these rates are for the 2008-2009 academic year. The CMU Board of Trustees traditionally sets tuition rates for each new academic year in July preceding the fall semester.
