Tennessee residents qualify for in-state tuition. Out-of-state students who take ONLY online courses will be charged the eRate. Out-of-state students who take a mix of online and hybrid/on ground courses will be charged the out-of-state rate. Non-Tennessee residents who take a combination of online and on-campus courses can qualify for reduced online tuition under the Regional Scholars Program if they:
- Live within approximately 250 miles of the MTSU campus or anywhere within the eight states bordering Tennessee (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, and Virginia)
- Are U.S. citizens or permanent residents
- Maintain good academic standing
Estimated tuition and fees
The tuition rates are estimates of the per-hour cost of students who take 10 credit-hours or less per semester. Students who elect to take more than 10 credit-hours (11+) per semester for the Fall and Spring semesters will pay a reduced per-hour cost (Summer is full charge).
