Tuition and Program Fees

Hey all, 

 

I have just been accepted to a funded masters program at UMASS Boston.  I've gotten 100% tuition waiver, which just leaves me with paying the program fees. Which is great and all, but it looks like I'll still be paying around $10,000/year in just program fees. This seems a little bit excessive to me and I'm wondering if I'm just mis-reading the funding letter I have been sent.  

 

I don't want to seem ungrateful for the money being offered, but I do want to know if this sort of thing is normal.

I asked about it and did a little digging and it looks like this is just a Massachusetts thing, where all the public schools have really low tuition costs but super high program fees.  It's still a good program and the $10,000/ year is still significantly lower than the other (completely unfunded) programs I have been accepted into. But it is still a very weird situation.
