Tuition and Fees are determined annually be the MNSCU system and the University. Typically, these are finalized during the summer after the annual State Legislative Session. The following estimates are based upon the 2006-2007 costs for in-state Graduate Tuition and Fees which are subject to change.
The MSW program is using a differntial tuition model that adds $50.00 per credit onto the MSW required courses. The Fall and Spring semesters, which each require registration for 11 graduate credits, will cost approximately $3,900.00 each semester. The Summer Session semester, that requires registration for 8 graduate credits, will cost approximately $2, 800.00. Subsequently, the estimated annual cost of the MSW program will be about $10, 700.00. This estimate does not include the cost of books or materials.
Graduate students may be eligible for either Financial Aid, usually in the form of low interest loans, and/or Graduate Assistantship positions on campus. Since each person's situation is so unique, it is advised that you contact Student Financial Services and/or the College of Graduate Studies and Research for more information about what may be available for you. There will be some graduate assistance positions in the Department of Social Work, but there are also other positions available across campus. Please let the MSW Admissions Coordinator know if you will need financial assistance and we will help you with this process as much as possible.
