MAS-E Tuition Fee Example

The following is meant to serve as an example of a typical semester’s fee structure. The amounts for each fee are subject to change each term, and can vary from what is depicted in the chart below.

Tuition:

Tuition is billed at $1,750 per unit. 

Example calculation:

If a student takes 3 1-unit courses with the MAS-E program, that student will be billed for tuition with the following calculation:

3 units x $1,750/unit = $5,250

Fees:

With an example of 3 1-unit course load, here are the projections for each term:

Fall: $10,530.75 ($5,250+$5,280.75)
Spring: $10,530.75 ($5,250+$5,280.75)
Summer: $7,882.50 ($5,250+$2,632.50)

*SHIP stands for the Student Health Insurance Program. The University requires all students to automatically become enrolled in a student health insurance plan, unless they fill out a SHIP waiver within the appropriate deadlines.  MAS-E staff will send out reminders to students about deadlines for SHIP waivers for each term. 

**The Document Management fee will only be assessed one time in a student’s first semester with the program. This fee will not show up in subsequent semesters’ billing.
