Cost Calculation Example
Every student is unique in the number of courses they will take, what financial aid they can access, and tuition per credit hour typically changes from year to year. However, as a starting point, if you were to complete the MMVP or MMCP program at ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï and pay full price (no tuition reduction scholarships, grants, etc.) your total cost could be estimated as follows:
- The MMP degree is 36 semester hours.
- At this year’s tuition rate ($970 per credit hour), a load of 8–10 semester hours would cost $7,760–$9700.
- The MMP is designed to be completed in two years of full-time study. Adjusting for slight per-credit-hour cost increases over time, a tuition cost range could be $35,000 to $38,000 for a degree program.
Remember that these costs may be lowered by financial aid packages. Graduate music students may qualify for a merit-based graduate music scholarship based on their audition and interview. .
