Academic Year 2023-24 Tuition and Fees

Dear Members of the Carnegie Mellon Community:

The university annually assesses the cost of attendance at CMU and sets tuition, room and board, and associated fees accordingly. This determination is made through analysis with the ultimate goal of continuing to provide a world-class education to our current and incoming students. 

For the Academic Year 2023-24, the Board of Trustees approved an overall 4.0% increase to the undergraduate cost of attendance. Undergraduate tuition will be $62,260 with a rate of $10,400 for a standard double room and $7,068 for a traditional first-year meal plan. Approved rates for other associated fees may be found on the Student Financial Services website. Please note that graduate tuition rates are set by individual schools and colleges at the program level.

We recognize the financial investment that students and their families make by choosing to attend CMU. As an institution, we are fully committed to delivering an exceptional educational experience while making it as affordable as possible. Consistent with our commitment to providing access to a Carnegie Mellon education, the university will continue to make investments in financial aid commensurate with the increase in cost of attendance and meet full demonstrated need for our undergraduate students receiving financial aid. You can find updated information about financial aid, cost of attendance, and the role of tuition in operating revenue and educational expenses in the university’s annual budget at the CMU Enrollment Bulletin website.

Sincerely, 

Jim Garrett
Provost and Chief Academic Officer
