UMass Amherst is a big player in my college application list. I'm currently working on mapping out my finances, and I need an estimate of the tuition. Does anyone know what's the annual tuition cost for a full-time undergrad student?
Sure, I can help with that. Please note, these figures are for the 2024-2025 academic year and can vary from year to year, but it'll give you an idea.
For in-state students, the tuition and fees for UMass Amherst amount to approximately $17,772 per year.
However, if you're an out-of-state student, the number significantly increases. For out-of-state students, the tuition and fees total around $40,449 per year.
Remember, these costs are just for tuition and mandatory fees. They do not cover other expenses like housing, meals, books, personal expenses, or transportation.
Housing and meals might cost an additional $16,600. Meanwhile, the cost for books and supplies is estimated to be around $1,000.
All these figures together make an estimated cost of attendance. But your actual cost might differ based on factors such as your housing choices, meal plan, and personal expenses.
It's also worth exploring the financial aid opportunities available at UMass Amherst. Many students receive some form of financial aid which can significantly reduce the actual out-of-pocket cost.
