Graduate Cost of Attendance
Colorado School of Mines
Understanding Cost of Attendance for Graduates
The tables below detail the annual Cost of Attendance figures for a Mines graduate student for the current school year and most recent academic year. The figures in the chart will be revised for the next school year after the Board of Trustees meeting in June when the new rates for tuition and fees are approved.
Cost of Attendance is determined by your living situation (off campus for graduate students) and enrollment status (full-time, part-time). Components of Cost of Attendance are tuition, fees, books, supplies, housing/food, personal, and transportation allowances. These components are determined by federal and state rules and are included for all students.
