Costs

Cost of attending MSU

Tuition and housing fees and student-voted taxes may be found on the Student Accounts section of the Controller's Office website.

The financial aid budget

Each year the Office of Financial Aid determines a budget that projects average costs for tuition, fees, room and board, books, and other expenses.

Several budgets are constructed to represent differences in student residency, academic level and program. Most budgets assume full-time attendance at the student's level. See How Enrollment Level Affects Financial Aid.

"Budget" vs. "Cost"

While the budget is based on average expenses and can guide you in planning your year at MSU, you can obtain a closer estimate by calculating your own tuition and fees and other MSU charges using the cost calculator (above), as well as by estimating the additional money you will need for books and personal expenses.
