University of Minnesota-Morris

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Minnesota-Morris?

The published cost of attending University of Minnesota Morris depends on residency, living arrangements, and financial aid. For the 2024-25 reporting year, the undergraduate tuition and required-fee figures below distinguish Minnesota residents from students charged the out-of-state rate.

• Minnesota-resident full-time undergraduate tuition: $13,130; required fees: $1,396.
• Out-of-state full-time undergraduate tuition: $15,314; required fees: $1,396.
• Reported typical academic-year room charge: $5,896; board charge: $6,064.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $800.

Adding the listed tuition, required fees, room, board, and books produces approximately $27,286 for a resident or $29,470 for a nonresident. Those are partial estimates, not complete cost-of-attendance budgets: transportation and personal expenses can add to the total, and individual housing or meal choices may differ. Commuters should not assume they will pay campus room and board.

Net price is different from the sticker price because it accounts for grant aid. Reported average net prices varied by family-income band; for families earning $48,001-$75,000, the average was $3,213. An average does not predict an individual award. Students should complete the applicable financial aid application and compare their own aid offers, including which amounts are grants and which are loans or expected earnings.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Minnesota-Morris?

Morris students may seek part-time campus jobs, including positions that can be funded through Federal Work-Study for eligible students. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through an approved job; it is not a grant automatically credited in full against a tuition bill.

Students generally establish federal aid eligibility through the FAFSA and then apply for available positions. An ordinary campus job may be open without a Work-Study award, while some positions specify that award as a condition. Earnings depend on hours worked and the job's pay rate. Research assistantships, office work, and student services jobs can offer useful experience, but they should be evaluated separately from an academic internship or the career center's job-placement services. Students relying on earnings for expenses should account for when wages are paid during the semester.
