Grad school tuition question


Courtneycamm

Question

All schools seem to advertise their tuition as [insert amount here] per year. So, if a school advertises its tuition as $10,000/year, is that for two semesters or three? If it’s for two semesters, would tuition for three semesters (a real year) actually be $15,000? 

In addition to this, if a grad program is 5 consecutive semesters, then that’s only 18 months, so on a calendar, just a year and a half? This is relevant to room and board expenses. Paying for 19 months of room and board is way different than 24.

If the university is on the semester system, then usually one year equals two semesters.

They could mean fall - spring - summer - fall - spring as 5 consecutive semesters  Mostly likely they made fall - spring - fall - spring - fall so 2.5 years especially if they do not offer coursework or only offer a limited number of courses in the summer semester. You should be able to find the answer to these questions on your department's website or by emailing the department staff.
