Tuition & Fees

Tuition Costs

Per-unit tuition below represents the tuition charged for students enrolling in a class in a given category. Except for students in the Master of Arts in Chaplaincy program, tuition is based on level, school, department, and class, not the program of the student. For example, if a student enrolls in a 500-level School of Mission and Theology class, they pay the rate for 500-level classes in that school, no matter what program they are in. If a student enrolls in a 500-level School of Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy class, they pay that rate, no matter what their program is. Most courses are 4 units each.
