Doctoral Tuition & Fees
Doctoral tuition is determined per credit and residency status. Although many opt for off-campus housing, doctoral students may choose to live in University residence halls and purchase a meal plan. The Residence Life Office lists out the costs for each type of residence hall room and available meal plans.
