Hi there, juniors and seniors! So I'm looking at the University of Alabama Birmingham as one of my picks but I'm unclear about their tuition. How much does it currently cost for in-state and out-of-state students? Are there any additional costs that I should know about? Any insights on this would be super helpful.
The tuition cost can depend on factors like your state residency status, your intended major, whether you'll be a full-time or part-time student, and other variables. However, I'll give some approximate figures based on recent data to help you out.
For the 2023-2024 academic year, the approximate tuition and fees at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) for an undergraduate in-state student was about $11,040. For out-of-state students, the cost is approximately $27,330.
Please keep in mind that these costs are just for tuition and do not include other expenses like housing, meal plans, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. The estimated cost of books and supplies is around $1,200 per year. Housing can vary depending on where you choose to live but can range from approximately $5,000 to $8,000 annually. Meal plans are also an additional cost, typically adding about $4,300 to $5,150 to your annual expenses.
Remember, these are all estimates, and the actual costs can fluctuate year by year. It would be beneficial for you to check UAB's official website or contact the office of admissions or financial aid at the university to get the most accurate and updated information.
Also, keep in mind the opportunity to apply for scholarships and financial aid, as these can dramatically reduce the net cost of attendance.
