Non-Resident Texas online students will matriculate under the Non-Resident Distance Education Program (NRODE).  In the NRODE program your tuition and other costs will be much less than what a typical non-resident/out-of-state student would pay. Many students, especially depending upon their local school options, will save 40% to 50% in tuition and fees.
