Graduate Tuition & Fees

It’s important to determine your actual cost vs. making a decision based on the sticker price alone. Graduate scholarships and grants helped reduce tuition costs in 2024/25 by 50% on average.

Graduate applicants are automatically considered for ºÚÁÏרÇø Scholarships when they are admitted to the College.

We base scholarship awards on the review of your program specific requirements, academic record and achievement, interview and potential for success in your Graduate Studies program. Applicants receive notification of the ºÚÁÏרÇø Graduate Studies Scholarship in their acceptance letters and enrolled students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 in order to continue receiving their scholarship funding.

All US students are encouraged to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and to review your comprehensive financial aid offer from ºÚÁÏרÇø before assuming your actual out-of-pocket cost. ºÚÁÏרÇø may offer additional grant funds to students if their FAFSA indicates financial need, and Michigan students may be eligible for resident-specific state-funded grants, so make sure you file!
