Tuition Costs

UT Permian Basin is one of the most affordable public universities in Texas. And because UT Permian Basin is part of the prestigious University of Texas System, students will receive the best possible education. The average cost for an undergraduate student to attend UTPB full time (12 hours) is about $1,950.

What does my tuition pay for?

Student tuition helps universities do many things. At UT Permian Basin, tuition has helped provide excellence. Tuition dollars have helped UTPB offer more degree programs and achieve national and international recognition. The School of Business is ranked in the top third of U.S. business schools, and the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business - International has bestowed accreditation – making us one of the best business schools in the world. School of Education programs have received national recognition and our students have a 99 percent pass rate for State Board of Education Certification tests. Our social work program has been accepted into candidacy for accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).

Tuition has also allowed UT Permian Basin to recruit and retain quality faculty. Our faculty comes from across the country and the world, and they are expert researchers and leaders in their fields of study.

SUMMARY OF TUITION AND FEE CHARGES

FOR RESIDENT STUDENTS

SPRING 2008

The table can be used to estimate the full costs of one semester for Texas resident students. For undergraduates, the amounts are shown for 12 and 15 semester credit hours (sch). For graduate students, the table gives amounts for 3 and 9 sch. If a student enrolls for a different number of hours, he or she may need to calculate those costs using the per semester credit hour charges for tuition and fees that are based on the number of hours of credit (see class schedule for details). Since the table shows only average charges for college course related fees, a more precise total would have to be calculated by determining the actual fees for the student's school or college and the courses for which the student has enrolled. Necessary information may be obtained from the Office of Accounting or the class schedule.
