Cost of Study

Teaching or Research Assistantships or Fellowships

With few exceptions, our graduate students receive teaching or research assistantships, or fellowships.  Please follow the link for much more information.

Tuition and Fees

Graduate students who receive assistantships do not pay tuition!  Tuition fees for full-time graduate study (if you aren't on an assistantship or fellowship that pays the tuition) can be found by visiting http://www.tuition.psu.edu. Fees for international students may be found on the Visa Document Application page.   

Living and Housing Costs

University dormitories and private rooms are available to single students, and inexpensive University apartments are available to married students. Off-campus apartments are also available. Application for graduate housing should be made as soon as possible.
