2024-2025 Tuition & Fees
2024-2025 Tuition and Fees
All charges are assessed by semester (tuition, room, board, and applicable fees) and are due and payable upon completion of enrollment and before admittance to class. Tuition and fees shown are for the academic year beginning July 1, 2024, and are subject to change as necessary.
Student tuition is based on a student's classification, not necessarily on the location of the student and not on the delivery of an individual course. For instance, a Main Campus Undergraduate student taking an online course pays the Main Campus rate and not the Online rate. Student classifications can be found in the tuition & fees list below.
Please Note: While we attempt to provide complete cost information for the programs listed here, your actual total tuition & fee costs may vary depending on your prior academic history, coursework being transferred in, or additional coursework needed to complete your program or USM degree requirements. (For example, a student transferring into USM's Accelerated BSN program may need to take – or transfer in – additional general education requirements to earn a USM bachelor's degree.) Please reach out to billing@stmary.edu for specific tuition questions.
