Tuition & Fees
Tuition for the distance engineering program is based on residency.
NOTE: If you are an active duty military member, a veteran, a ND National Guard member, or a spouse of a member of the United States Armed Forces, you may qualify for a tuition-waiver program that is equivalent to the tuition charged to North Dakota residents, regardless of your residency status. In addition, if you are a dependent of an active duty U.S. military member or a ND National Guard member, you also may qualify for the in-state tuition rate. For eligibility information, view the UND Military Tuition website.
