Cost of Attendance

Your COA attendance includes average tuition and fees based on your residency (i.e., West Virginia, Metro*, and Non-resident), enrollment status (i.e., Full-time, Part-time), and program of study (i.e., Nursing, Physical Therapy). Housing & food charges vary based on residence hall assignment and meal plan. When you live on campus, you will be billed directly for your room and your meal plan. The COA budget component for housing and meals for students who live with parents or reside in off-campus housing vary according to your personal circumstances.  Marshall University does not charge you for these amounts, but they are part of your Financial Aid COA budget to determine your financial aid eligibility. Books and supplies are included and costs vary based upon your particular program of study. Transportation and Miscellaneous expenses are also variable costs and included. The Office of Student Financial Assistance estimates certain values for these variable cost components to determine your full COA.
