Estimate Your Tuition & Fees

Use this financial calculator to estimate your tuition and fees at NDSCS. Estimates are based on 2025-2026 rates (August – June).

Where are you a resident of?

Where will you be attending your classes?

Where do you plan to live while attending classes?

Living on campus with a qualifying meal plan reduces the tuition costs of a non-resident down to that of a ND resident.

Will you be receiving tuition assistance from the U.S. military?

You may qualify if you, your parent or your spouse is a full-time Active Duty member, a Reservist, a National Guard member, or a Veteran.

For additional costs associated with attending NDSCS, such as housing, meals, books, and program-specific expenses, see an Estimated Average Annual Budget, or click on the Estimated Educational Cost section below.

These results are estimates, based on the selections made.  Only tuition and per-credit fees* tied to tuition are included.  The annual estimate is based on 12 credits per semester (spring/fall); additional credits will increase the estimated costs.

Tuition is charged per credit, at a rate based on a student’s residency status (ND Resident, MN Reciprocity, U.S. Resident, International).  

Per-credit fees are based on class location and help to support costs such as technology, health services, student activities and retention.  (*Instructional Fees are also charged per credit, based on the prefix of each class; these fees are not included in this estimate.)
