Non-Resident of 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 on their local school options, will save 40% to 50% in tuition and fees.

All other prospective students (face-to-face and Texas residents) should follow the UTA Tuition Estimator.

• NRODE students must reside outside the state of Texas during their matriculation while completing the program online (synchronous and asynchronous classes available).
