Tuition and fees for the current academic year can be found at Student Financial Aid and Scholarships' Cost of Attendance. Updated tuition and fees for the next academic year are typically posted in the summer. 

Cost is an important factor to weigh as you decide where to pursue your graduate education. Paying for just three semesters of study instead of four, and not having to register for credit for a summer internship can make a significant price difference in total cost of our degree. Furthermore, the ancillary costs of 18 months in Lexington (cost of living index: 92) is considerably lower than 24 months in the cities that host these competing programs. Additionally, students within the Academic Common Market (including Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia) may qualify for in-state tuition while attending the Patterson School. Please note that this benefit requires that students apply to their state Academic Common Market coordinator.

International students are required to obtain health insurance - details and other helpful information can be found at the University of Kentucky International Center website. Additional details on costs and amenities can be found at the Graduate Housing website.
