No Out-of-State Tuition Cost:
What Does This Mean?

Fall and Spring Tuition – 2024-2025
We prioritize providing our students with transparency and clarity regarding the costs associated with their education. Tuition at Delta State University covers the cost of classes and is the primary component of a student’s college expenses. On the other hand, fees cover additional expenses such as lab fees, books, and course materials, and can vary depending on the program and classes a student is taking. We encourage students to review their financial obligations carefully and utilize our online resources to estimate their costs.
