So how much is a CMU college education?

The chart below is based on 28 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 2010-2011 academic year. The CMU Board of Trustees traditionally sets credit-hour tuition rates for each new academic year in July, preceding the fall semester.
