Hi everyone! I’m seriously interested in applying to U of M Dearborn for next year. Wondering about the specifics of their tuition costs - like in-state and out-of-state tuition, and any additional expenses to plan for. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Hi there! University of Michigan-Dearborn is a great choice, and I'm happy to provide some clarity. Please remember that these numbers can shift from year to year, and it's best to reach out directly to the financial aid office for the most accurate information.
As of the last academic year, the in-state yearly tuition for a full-time undergraduate student (12-18 credit hours per semester) was approximately $15,900. For out-of-state students, the tuition was about $33,120 per year.
Apart from this, you'll need to account for various fees, like general service fees, registration fees, and technology fees, which vary by college within the university and can amount to a few hundred dollars per semester.
Another significant expense to keep in mind is room and board. If you're planning to live off-campus, the cost will be dependent on the local housing market and individual living preferences. However, for planning purposes, U of M Dearborn estimates off-campus room and board at about $11,241 for the academic year.
You should also budget for textbooks and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses, which U of M Dearborn estimates to cost around $1,300 (textbooks/supplies), $2,200 (transport), and $1,600 (personal expenses) respectively for an academic year.
Again, these are only approximate numbers. I would strongly recommend using the Net Price Calculator on U of M Dearborn's website, inputting your specific details to get a more accurate estimate of expected costs (https://umdearborn.edu/financial-aid/calculators/net-price-calculator).
Finally, don't forget the possibility of financial aid to help offset these costs. The FAFSA is used for this, and you should carefully explore what scholarships and grants U of M Dearborn has to offer (both need-based and merit-based) to mitigate these costs.
I hope this information helps, and best of luck with your application process!
