Tuition, Room, Board and Fees
In an effort to streamline cost for students and families, Troy University adopted a new pricing structure — the Clear Cost Plan — that greatly reduces the number of fees students pay and creates a clearer cost to attend. The Clear Cost Plan, implemented in Fall 2021, created single tuition prices for undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students across all TROY campuses, whether in class or online.
Under the plan, undergraduate tuition is $388 per credit hour for in-state students, graduate tuition is $475 per credit hour and doctoral tuition is $550 per credit hour. This tuition structure eliminates most fees students typically incur while attending TROY.
Financial Aid
Troy University is committed to providing exceptional service to students and their families who apply for financial assistance. The Office of Financial Aid offers a variety of services and programs designed to help you find ways to meet the costs of education.
