Tuition Overview

Place of residency can affect tuition.

• Tennessee Residents: In-state students incur the standard tuition rates.
• Non-Residents: The UofM offers a substantial tuition reduction compared to previous costs to non-resident students (undergraduate students who attend(ed) a high school outside the State of Tennessee or the border counties of the Memphis metropolitan area). This benefit means students are charged the equivalent of in-state tuition rates on any credits over 12 in a given term.
• Border County Residents: There is no change in tuition charges for those students who reside in one of the 5 bordering counties. Learn more >
