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 $33,200 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$7,256
$30k–$48k$8,145
$48k–$75k$11,965
$75k–$110k$17,056
Over $110k$24,453

Sticker cost of attendance: $33,200 (out-of-state) · $27,680 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$29,024$30,584
$30k–$48k$32,580$34,331
$48k–$75k$47,860$50,432
$75k–$110k$68,224$71,890
Over $110k$97,812$103,068

65% 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 University of Minnesota-Duluth how grants change after year one. That answer moves these numbers more than anything else on this page.

Applying to a specific major at University of Minnesota-Duluth

89% 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 University of Minnesota-Duluth'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 University of Minnesota-Duluth: 69 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $61,020 median earnings (Computer Science.)

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.

Engineering Direct admit

At University of Minnesota-Duluth: 189 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $64,940 median earnings (Mechanical Engineering.)

Most engineering colleges admit students directly into the college rather than the university at large, and review them against a separate, usually more selective pool.

Check: Whether you apply to the engineering college directly, and what happens if you are not admitted — some schools offer general admission with a later transfer path, others do not.

Business Direct admit

At University of Minnesota-Duluth: 270 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $53,244 median earnings (Finance and Financial Management Services.)

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 University of Minnesota-Duluth in nursing, 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.
