Your international tuition at A-State is based on a variety of factors including how many hours you are enrolled in and which college houses your selected major. In addition to tuition and fees, international students have additional costs that include health screenings and insurance.

Calculating Your Tuition

To calculate your tuition, multiply the tuition per credit hour rate and the required hourly fees by the number of hours you are taking for a given semester. If you meet any of the required term fee or additional fees criteria, add them to your total number.

Course Fees

Please note that your tuition could vary based on fees associated with specific courses. These course fees can range from $5.00 - $255.00 per course.

Identity Compliance Fee

An Identity Compliance Fee of $10.00 per credit hour will be applied to all online courses excluding High School Concurrent courses or those offered in the Online MBA Program.

What are these fees?

Mandatory fee designation/separation is required to increase transparency to students and their families regarding how funds are allocated and spent.  Rather than simply lumping charges into a general tuition category, this system was devised to provide information regarding the costs necessary to operate a comprehensive research, teaching, and residential university.
