I'm trying to compare the cost of attending different colleges and I'm having a hard time finding information on Michigan State University's yearly tuition, especially after financial aid. Could someone help me out here? Thanks in advance.
For the 2024-2025 academic year, the published tuition and fees for Michigan State University for an in-state undergraduate student is approximately $16,526. Those coming from out-of-state will see a significant increase, with the cost being approximately $43,910. These figures only cover tuition and mandatory fees, not housing, meals, books, or any personal expenses.
Regarding room and board, it's around $12,564 annually for students living on-campus. Textbooks and supplies typically add another $1,380 a year, and then there’s an estimated $3,838 for personal and miscellaneous expenses.
So, the total cost of attendance is about $34,308 for in-state students, and $61,692 for out-of-state students, before financial aid.
Please bear in mind that these are estimated costs and that the exact cost will vary based on personal spending habits, housing choices, and other factors.
These estimates should help you get a clearer understanding of what to expect cost-wise for Michigan State University. You can also use the Net Price Calculator (https://ctlr.msu.edu/student-accounts/tuition-calculator) for a more personalized calculation of your likely financial aid and net costs.
