What it may cost by family income

Estimated average net price — what families actually pay after grants and scholarships — by annual household income. Net price matters far more than the $42,893 sticker price. All figures are the full cost of attendance — housing, food, and books included, not just tuition.

Household incomeEst. net price / year
Under $30k$11,893
$30k–$48k$12,003
$48k–$75k$12,612
$75k–$110k$16,371
Over $110k$24,692

Sticker cost of attendance: $42,893 (out-of-state) · $25,261 in-state.

What the whole degree costs

Every cost figure above is one year. A bachelor's degree is four — sometimes five. Today's-prices makes no assumptions; the second column assumes prices rise ~3.5% a year, in line with recent averages.

Household income4 yrs, today's prices4 yrs with increases
Under $30k$47,572$50,128
$30k–$48k$48,012$50,592
$48k–$75k$50,448$53,159
$75k–$110k$65,484$69,003
Over $110k$98,768$104,075

54% of students here graduate within six years. If the degree takes a fifth year, budget roughly one more year at the prices above — ask the school what share of students finish in four.

First-year aid is not guaranteed to repeat — ask The University of Texas at Arlington how grants change after year one. That answer moves these numbers more than anything else on this page.

Applying to a specific major at The University of Texas at Arlington

80% is the acceptance rate for the whole university — not for every major. For the programs below, admission is usually decided separately and is harder than that number suggests. Almost no university publishes a by-major admission rate, and neither does the federal government, so we do not show one: any site that does is estimating.

To find the real figure for your major, check The University of Texas at Arlington's Common Data Set and its admissions page, or ask an admissions officer directly — that question gets answered more often than students expect.

Computer Science Capacity-constrained

At The University of Texas at Arlington: 363 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $57,110 median earnings (Information Science/Studies.)

Applicant demand has grown far faster than faculty and seats, so many universities cap CS enrollment, admit to it directly, or require a competitive internal application after enrolling.

Check: Whether the school admits to CS directly, and whether switching into CS later is restricted — the answer changes your real odds more than your test scores do.

Nursing Direct admit

At The University of Texas at Arlington: 2,652 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $72,515 median earnings (Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing.)

Clinical placement requirements hard-cap how many students a nursing program can take, which routinely makes direct-entry nursing among the most selective programs on a campus.

Check: Whether the program is direct-entry or requires applying again in sophomore year, and how many seats it takes per cohort.

Business Direct admit

At The University of Texas at Arlington: 808 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $41,631 median earnings (Business Administration, Management and Operations.)

Many undergraduate business schools admit their own cohort at application time and are more selective than the university overall; others admit only after two years of coursework.

Check: Whether the business school is direct-admit for first-years, and if not, what GPA the internal application actually requires.

Federal data shows no bachelor's completions at The University of Texas at Arlington in engineering, architecture or visual & performing arts, so those are not listed above. Small or new programs can be missing from federal reporting — confirm with the school before ruling one out.
