Tuition is calculated per course. Graduate degrees typically require completing ten (10) courses and certifications typically require completing five (5) courses (some certificates require 4 courses).
Review the program requirements for your program of interest to confirm how many courses are required to complete your selected degree or certificate program.
Students whose tuition is paid by their employer are strongly recommended to begin processing requests with their employers well before registration deadlines to ensure payment is processed and complete. If payment is not processed, students will not be able to register for courses. Students are ultimately responsible for all costs associated with their registration.
Please review the academic calendar for registration and tuition payment deadlines for upcoming academic terms. Please contact SEAM with any questions about tuition, payments, or financial holds.
Tuition
Per-course tuition for a three-credit graduate-level course in the Whiting School of Engineering is $6,470, but with support from the dean of the Whiting School of Engineering, our students enjoy a substantially decreased out-of-pocket cost. The typical tuition rates for Engineering for Professionals courses during the 2024–2025 academic year, after the Dean’s support is applied, are $1,425 for undergraduate (200-level) and $5,270 for graduate (600-level and higher) courses.
