We know college is an investment, which is why we want to help you understand the cost of college, as well as the value of a degree. We believe all students should enter college knowing the cost of a degree, and what steps we’re taking to reduce those costs. The CU Boulder Undergraduate Tuition Guarantee offers a predictable, four-year cost, providing complete transparency. Here at CU Boulder, we not only provide you with promising career potential, our education also allows you to expand your worldview, influence your network and add to your quality of life.
The rates below are based on last year's rates (2023–24). New undergraduate students coming to CU in Fall 2024 can expect an increase of 3–4% in tuition and 5% in on-campus housing and food costs for academic year 2024–25. Continuing students will pay tuition and fees according to their tuition guarantee group. Graduate students will see an increase of 3% in tuition. See more details in the CU Boulder Today article.
