How much does Tarleton State University cost?

Hi all, Tarleton State University is one of the schools that I'm looking at because it's in TX and I’m keen on staying in-state. However, to plan and budget properly, I need to know how much it might cost, including room and board. Also, are there any hidden fees students generally aren't aware of until they get the bill? Thanks!

Sure, I can give you a rough estimate of what you'd need to budget for. Tarleton State University's total cost varies depending on whether you're in-state or out-of-state, living on-campus or off, but as you mentioned you're in-state, let's focus on that.

For the 2024-2025 academic year, in-state tuition and fees at Tarleton State University are approximately $10,000. The room and board cost for living on campus is around $12,000. Books and supplies are estimated at around $1,500 annually.

Regarding your query about hidden fees, most universities, including Tarleton State, have fees embedded within tuition cost such as technology fees, library fees, and other similar charges. These aren't typically 'hidden', but they might not be separately listed out on a bill. In addition, some specific courses might have additional lab or materials fees that are not included in the standard tuition. This can vary greatly based on your major and the classes you take. If you plan to live on campus, there can also be room fees or key deposits. Some universities also have one-time orientation fees for incoming students.

In summary, for an in-state student at Tarleton State University, before applying any financial aid or scholarships, you could expect to pay roughly $23,500 per year including tuition, room and board, and books, with a potential for additional fees depending on your specific courses and housing situation. I'd recommend reaching out to Tarleton State's financial aid office or bursar's office for a more exact breakdown or for any specific questions you might have.
