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 2009-2010 academic year. The CMU Board of Trustees traditionally sets tuition rates for each new academic year in July preceding the fall semester. To give you an example of tuition costs, here are the rates paid by this year's current freshmen and transfer students.
