We take pride in helping online students like you achieve an affordable education and being transparent about what you will pay.
Understanding your costs
The cost of each program varies. For more details, each of our programs’ pages includes an estimate of the program’s cost.
Whether you are a current or prospective student, this is your home base for information about every one of the four world-class campuses that form the foundation of Missouri Online.

Tuition
The Student Financial Aid office has charts breaking down the undergraduate cost of attendance and graduate cost of attendance based on various conditions, such as whether or not you are a Missouri resident. These charts can be helpful if you are a current Mizzou student taking a single online class or if your degree is fully online.
Please note: The cost of attendance is an estimated calculation and not the actual costs.
- Degree-seeking undergraduates: Online students who are not residents of Missouri will need to pay a nonresident fee in addition to the tuition.
- Degree-seeking graduates: Online graduate students pay in-state tuition regardless of where they live.
If you are taking a single online class, see your cost per credit hour ahead of time at the Cashiers Office site. Find tuition rates for online students.

Other fees
Some Mizzou schools and colleges charge supplemental course fees in addition to tuition and other fees.
Visit the list of course fees, and look for your program, plus the rate assessed per credit.
In addition to the per-credit-hour tuition and fees, you will be required to pay fees such as the information technology fee that helps support the school’s computing infrastructure. See explanation of fees for details.
Keep in mind that you may need to pay additional fees depending on your specific situation. Get the details about these fees so you can plan accordingly.
Fee waivers for graduate students
Graduate students with a qualifying assistantship or fellowship may be eligible for a GSSP fee waiver. This waives your resident and nonresident (if applicable) tuition for courses that are applicable and relevant to your degree program.

A note about fees
The university reserves the right to increase or decrease the fees charged for attendance and other services at the university when the Board of Curators considers it in the best interest of the university to do so. Any increase in fees must be approved by the Board of Curators not less than thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the academic term (semester, etc.) to which these fees will be applied.
Any change in fees will be effective irrespective of whether fees have or have not been paid by or on behalf of a student prior to the effective date of the modification.
