Cost

Your college education is one of the best investments you'll ever make—but it doesn't have to be the biggest. A degree at the U is a phenomenal value. In a recent survey of nearly 700 institutions by Payscale.com, the University of Utah ranked 72^nd in value for getting the best payback for your tuition dollar at a public university, both in-state and out-of-state.

2012-2013 Costs (Full year - estimated)	Resident	Non-Resident
Tuition and Mandatory Fees (2 semesters at 13 semester hours each):	$6,424	$20,316
Books & Supplies:	$996	$996
Room & Board	$9,072	$9,072
Miscellaneous	$5,448	$5,448
Transportation	$1,026	$1,026
TOTAL:	$22,966	$37,578*

*Non-Resident total includes an additional travel component.

While the U.S. Census Bureau tells us the average salary for a college graduate is almost $20,000 per year higher than the salary of a high school graduate (that equates to $900,000 over a career), you can rest easy knowing you won't be spending that career paying off your education.

In addition to being a great value, the U has many resources to help you pay for your education—from scholarship money, to on-campus employment, to tuition payment plans, our goal is to help you get a solid education without breaking the bank.
