The MU Office of Student Financial Aid processes all financial aid awards. Students who wish to receive a financial aid package must file a FAFSA. The financial aid office also provides cost of attendance information for MU Graduate students. Please note that tuition listed for the estimated cost of attendance assumes nine (9) credit hours of enrollment in the Fall and Spring semesters.
See Executive and Residential tuition and fee sections for tables listing tuition and fees specific to MHA Executive and Residential programs. These tables reflect gross tuition and all fees for the entire degree program. Each student’s actual net tuition and fees will depend on whether any financial assistance (financial aid, scholarships, educational assistance, etc.) is received.
The MU Office of Cashiers maintains a list of current tuition and fees as well as information about billing and due dates and payment options.
