* In-state vs. Out-of-state residency: In-state students pay significantly less than out-of-state students.
* Credit hours: Tuition is charged per credit hour, so the total cost depends on how many courses a student takes each semester. A full-time student typically takes 12-18 credit hours.
* Specific program: Some programs might have additional fees.
* Fees: There are various mandatory fees (e.g., student activity fees, technology fees) in addition to tuition.
To find the most accurate tuition estimate, you should visit the Texas Tech University's Office of the Bursar website. They usually have a tuition and fee calculator where you can input your residency status and anticipated credit hours to get a personalized estimate.
