Graduate Tuition & Fees
Each year, the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education's Board of Governors sets tuition rates and tuition-related fees for the 14 state system schools. This is typically completed on or around July 1. The Clarion University Council of Trustees sets fees which are used to support student activities and the operation of university facilities. All fees are payable whether or not the student plans to use these services or facilities.
Total costs depend upon credit load, fees, housing choice, meal plan selection, residency, location, and in some cases, program choice. Please pay close attention to which chart you need to refer (regular, speech pathology, MSN, or MSAT).
