Southern Illinois University Tuition

Hey guys, I'm just beginning my college search and Southern Illinois University caught my eye. Can anyone fill me in on their tuition? The more info the better. Thank you!

Sure, happy to help! Tuition at Southern Illinois University can vary depending on a number of factors such as whether you are part-time or full-time, and the specific degree program you wish to pursue.

As of the 2024-2025 academic year, for undergraduate students, the tuition at Southern Illinois University is approximately $9,638 per semester, and fees amount to $3,696. Please note that this does not cover other expenses such as room, board, and books, which could potentially increase the cost. There is no out-of-state tuition rate. Domestic, undergraduate students who are not IL residents pay the in-state tuition rate.

It can also be noted that tuition costs for graduate programs may vary as they often depend on the specific program itself.

Remember, these figures are subject to change yearly, so it's always a good idea to check the school's official website or reach out to its finance department for the most accurate and up to date information. Also, you might want to use their net price calculator to get a more detailed picture, taking into account potential financial aid and scholarships.

Lastly, I'd like to add that while you’re considering tuition fees, it's also important to think about the kind of financial aid package you might receive from the school, as this can greatly offset the cost of tuition. You should also remember to factor in additional costs like room and board, meal plans, textbooks, transportation and personal expenses while creating your college budget.
