    Tuition Rates Frozen through Spring 2025

    academic spotlight

    Thanks to funding from the Minnesota Legislature, MSUM's undergraduate tuition will remain at the 2022-23 rate through the 2024-25 academic year. This is just one way MSUM demonstrates a commitment to affordability. Students also benefit from five levels of automatic scholarships, in-state tuition rates for all, and the North Star Promise, covering tuition and fees for some Minnesota families.
