Graduate Tuition & Fees

// Duke University

Duke University’s tuition and fees are lower than many of its peers when compared yearly rather than annually. In addition to tuition and fees, you should consider whether your financial aid will meet 100% of your need or if you have any other resources available to help pay for school, such as scholarships or loans

Student activity fee (about $1,500 per semester)
Health insurance ($2,895 per year)

In addition to these two charges, there are some other expenses you may incur as an international student at Duke University:

Mandatory Fees

Duke University

Student activity fee: This is a fixed amount required of all students. It helps pay for programs, services and facilities that benefit the Duke community.
Health insurance: This cost is also fixed; it does not change based on your program choice or residency status. The university requires all students to have health insurance as part of their enrollment to be eligible for financial aid funds (free money!).
Student Government Association Fee: This fee pays for student government operations such as lobbying efforts on behalf of students at the local and state level, providing programming opportunities through Student Council-led events like Springfest or Homecoming festivities

Total Cost of Attendance

The total cost of attendance (COA) includes tuition, fees, room and board, books and supplies and transportation. The COA is the sum of all expenses incurred by a student in attending a college or university.

The Duke University Office of Undergraduate Admissions recommends that students budget approximately $22,000 annually for personal expenses such as clothes and entertainment. Students may also want to include an additional allowance for travel during breaks between semesters if they plan to visit home or friends who live away from campus; however, this amount varies depending on individual circumstances.

Net Price of Attendance (NPA)

The Net Price of Attendance (NPA) is the amount a student can expect to pay for college. It includes tuition, fees, room and board, books and supplies and personal expenses. The NPA excludes transportation costs or other miscellaneous expenses such as laundry or entertainment.

You can estimate the cost of attending Duke University

Duke University’s tuition and fees are higher for graduate students than undergraduates. While the university does not publish an average cost of attendance by program, you can estimate your cost by looking at the total tuition and mandatory fees for the program you wish to enrol in. For example, if you plan on attending Duke University’s Master of Architecture program, which costs $79,000 per year (tuition only), your total yearly cost would be $7900 + $1200 = $9200 per semester or $18400 per year.
