Tuition

Tuition and student fees are established by the Utah State Board of Regents. Refer to the Tuition website for the graduate tuition table.

Graduate Tuition Table

Beginning in 2026, non-resident tuition will be reduced to match resident tuition for all students employed as K-12 teachers and admitted to the National Cohort, thanks to generous support from the Jack Miller Center for Teaching America’s Founding Principles and History. As a result, nearly every student in the MACGCL class of 2026-2027 can expect to pay for their degree approximately:

$13,620*

in tuition & fees

The following non-resident students will not qualify for Jack Miller Center funding and may pay the full $21,300* non-resident rates:

  • Non-residents admitted to the Research Track
  • Non-residents employed in fields other than K-12 education
  • Non-residents admitted to the Utah Cohort

However, non-resident students in these positions are welcome to apply for financial aid that may help reduce these costs.

For 2025-2026 students following the Summer-Fall-Spring-Summer graduation plan, the tuition and fees for a 30-credit will be $13,620* for resident hours, $21,300* for nonresident hours, based on the 2025-26 tuition table.

These totals do not include the additional fees or out-of-pocket costs to go to Oxford.

* Estimates based on the most current tuition tables. Totals will be revised after the latest Utah legislative session, in late Spring or early Summer. Historically, tuition increases have been approximately 3%. Other revisions may take place without notice. We encourage students to take potential tuition changes into consideration when establishing resources for financial aid.

Summer Accommodations

Students enrolled in the face-to-face classes during the summer who live more than 90 miles away from UVU's main campus will be provided housing accommodations close to the campus at no cost to them. To receive this benefit, the student must contact the program administrative assistant.
