How much will your education cost?

Several factors influence your tuition and fees. What level of student are you? Which academic program are you in? How many courses are you taking in a semester? Are you from Indiana or another state or country?

The Office of the Bursar’s tuition estimator considers all of those factors and will estimate your tuition and fees for a given semester.

Your total cost of attendance also includes housing and food, books and supplies, and indirect costs like transportation and personal expenses.
