Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
For some students from out-of-state, the cost was a bit high, but the education and social opportunities offered to us made up for it.
Molly from Kinsey, MT
As a Montana resident, I find tuition and expenses to be very affordable considering what I get in return. I am getting the best education without ever leaving my home state. Many of the people on my floor are from out of state and they all say it is cheaper for them to go to UM than to stay in there own state! UM is definitely worth the money.
Alyssa from Butte, MT
Excellent education at state school prices!
Steve from Missoula, MT
A great public school!
Devan from Bellevue, ID
I have learned SO much.
pdx
definitely worth every penny.
Albert from Missoula, MT
the university's tuition plan, while still expensive, is much more affordable than other large universities. in-state tuition was about $13,000 a year, and out of state was about $27,000 a year. while still up there, the tuition is definitely worth the education.
Erin from Aurora, CO
fairly affordable as far as universities run, especially if you can claim in- state tuition.
