Cost of Marshall University

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how much it costs to attend Marshall for a year? Trying to determine if it is within my budget.

The cost of attending Marshall University can vary quite a bit depending on whether you're an in-state student, an out-of-state student, as well as factors like whether you will be living on or off-campus, and other personal expenses. The following estimates are for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Tuition for in-state students is approximately $9,162 per year. For "Metro Residents"—students from certain neighboring counties in Kentucky and Ohio, tuition costs $13,168 per year. For other out-of-state students, this cost jumps to approximately $20,342.

Room and board for on-campus housing can cost about $10,000-$15,000 per year. These costs vary depending on the specific housing and meal plan you choose.

Personal expenses, including books, travel, and miscellaneous expenses, typically end up around $4,000 per year.

It's important to note that these are just estimates. Your actual costs may be different, and many students do not pay the full cost of attendance due to financial aid, scholarships, or loans.
