The tuition calculator only estimates your charges; it does not reflect any scholarships, tuition waivers, or other aid that would reduce your cost
Funding
Our professional programs in cybersecurity and data science offer reduced tuition on a per-credit-hour basis for all admitted students. Therefore, we do not provide additional departmental scholarships, graduate teaching, or graduate research assistantships in these programs.
Federal student loans are available for domestic students. More information on financial aid, including private loans for international students can be found on DU's financial aid website.
Our traditional programs in engineering and computer science offer graduate teaching and graduate research assistantships. Although our assistantships are competitive, you are encouraged to apply before our priority admissions deadline. Learn more about GTA/GRA positions at DU.
