Michigan Tech will be moving to a plateau tuition structure for undergraduates beginning with the fall 2013 semester. The plateau will be set at 12-18 credit hours. That means undergraduates will pay a flat rate for a course load ranging from 12 to 18 credit hours.
Proposed 2013-2014 Tuition Rates*
| Student Semester Credit Load | In-State Tuition Structure (per semester) | Non-Resident Tuition Structure (per semester) |
|---|---|---|
< 12 | $510 for each credit | $1,050 for each credit |
12-18 | $6,735 Plateau Rate | $14,175 Plateau Rate |
> 18 | $6,735+$510 for each credit | $14,175+$1,050 for each credit |
Student Advantages to Plateau Tuition
There are a number of advantages for students, with regards to plateau tuition, including:
- Removes prior financial barriers to earning additional degrees, minors, and certificates
- Take enrichment courses outside of your current major to broaden your educational experience at Michigan Tech
- Get a head start on your graduate degree by taking coursework to fulfill requirements of the 5 year Master’s Degree
- Decrease your time to graduation if you feel comfortable taking additional credits
- No further need to take online coursework and transfer it back to Michigan Tech
- Your tuition will remain constant as you add/drop courses and no additional bills or refunds will be impacted
* 2013-2014 tuition rates are anticipated to be set at the May 3rd Board of Control meeting
