What is the cost of studying for a year at Mayville State University?

For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $7,979 for North Dakota residents and $10,056 for out-of-state students. These are published charges before aid, not a complete annual cost of attendance.

  • In-state undergraduate tuition: $6,517; required fees: $1,462.
  • Out-of-state undergraduate tuition: $9,775; required fees: $1,462.
  • Reported annual room and board: $8,237; books and supplies: $1,000.

Adding the reported room, board, and book amounts produces a partial annual budget of about $17,216 for a resident or $20,474 for a nonresident. Transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs would raise that estimate; an off-campus or online student's budget could look different.

Net price is a separate measure: it estimates cost after grants and scholarships for a particular population. Reported average net prices range from $4,878 for students in families earning up to $48,000 to $15,766 for those in families earning more than $110,000. Those averages are not individual aid offers. Students can seek federal grants and loans, applicable state aid, and institutional scholarships by following the university's financial-aid instructions and completing the FAFSA when eligible. The reported grant-aid average is $6,420, but an individual award can differ substantially.

What are the work-study opportunities at Mayville State University?

Mayville State students can explore both student employment and career-development services. Federal Work-Study, when awarded, is a form of need-based financial aid earned through an eligible job; it is not an automatic deduction from the tuition bill. Ordinary campus jobs may have different eligibility and funding rules.

Students seeking paid work should review current openings and their financial-aid award, then ask whether a position requires Work-Study eligibility. Career support reported for undergraduates includes individual and group counseling, career-interest assessment, résumé assistance, interview preparation, a job bank, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Those services can help with a job search, but access to them is not an employment guarantee. An internship is not reported as a university-wide graduation requirement, though an individual major may require supervised experience.
