Undergraduate Tuition and Fees
At KU, undergraduate tuition and fees depend on three main factors: residency, campus, and school. Use the calculator below to estimate your tuition and fee costs.
The calculator assumes 30 credit hours per year (15 each semester), but you can adjust hours to see how changes affect your total. If you’re taking courses in a specific school, enter those hours to include any additional program fees.
Online students and certain Edwards Campus students pay a flat tuition rate, the same for in-state and out-of-state, with no extra fees. Select your program and credit hours to see this estimate.
Remember, tuition and fees cover only charges paid to KU. Be sure to budget for housing, food, books, supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. See estimates at financialaid.ku.edu/estimated-cost-attendance.
