Graduate Studies
It costs very little to get a great education at MTSU.
If you were to pay full Out-of-State Tuition, it should cost you . . .
- Tuition: $7,533 per semester (based on a 9 credit-hour load) (rates as of Fall 2008)
- Fees: see list
- Plus living expenses.
In-State Tuition is even lower . . .
-
Tuition: $3,276 per semester (based on a 9
credit- hour load)
(rates as of Fall 2008)
Compare this to other graduate programs.
Even with great prices, we still
offer
Financial Aid
to help defray the expense of getting a graduate degree
at MTSU.
The most common form of assistance is the Graduate Assistantship. These are awarded based on School of Music needs, student performance, and faculty recommendation.
Full-time Graduate Assistantships for out-of-state students are equal to an award of $21,066 per year (based on nine-hour loads). Graduate Assistantships for in-state students represent a $12,552 award per year (based on nine-hour loads). In both cases, the student is given a full tuition waiver (i.e., you pay nothing) and a stipend of $6,000 annually. In return, we ask you to provide us 20 hours of your time per week.
A half-time assistantship provides a half tuition waiver, but you pay the remaining half at In-State Rates. The stipend also is halved (to $3,000 per year), and we ask that you provide us ten hours of your time per week.
In both cases, you still have to pay all applicable student fees when you register.
