Expenses for students in graduate and professional programs
If you are admitted to IU, you will be required to show funding for the expenses below. If you wish to enroll in courses during the summer, you should have additional funds available for tuition and fees.
Estimated expenses for international graduate students
These estimates for tuition and mandatory fees are based on recommendations for first-year enrollment and include nine months of living expenses. Each estimate makes the following assumptions:
Room and board estimates are for an off-campus, shared apartment.
Miscellaneous expenses include the purchase of equipment required by the program.
“Full academic year” includes the fall and spring semesters, but not summer sessions.
These cost estimates are only for the nine months of the fall and spring semesters. If you want to stay in the United States during the summer or enroll in summer classes, keep in mind that you will need additional funds to cover living costs and tuition.
International students have two additional fees that are not required for students from the United States. These fees are included in the tables below.
U.S. regulations require that international students have health insurance. We automatically enroll you in the IU health insurance plan and bill this expense to your bursar account.
