* Residency: In-state tuition is significantly lower than out-of-state tuition.
* Program of Study: Some programs are more expensive than others (e.g., engineering vs. humanities).
* Living Arrangements: On-campus housing and meal plans are considerably more expensive than living off-campus.
* Books and Supplies: This cost can vary depending on the courses taken.
* Personal Expenses: This includes transportation, entertainment, and other personal needs.
To get a precise estimate, you should use the University of Minnesota's official cost calculator. This calculator allows you to input your specific circumstances (residency, program, housing choices, etc.) to receive a personalized cost projection. You can usually find this calculator on the university's financial aid or admissions website.
However, here's a general idea based on 2023-2024 estimates (these numbers are subject to change):
* In-state tuition and fees: Expect to pay several thousand dollars per year.
* Out-of-state tuition and fees: Expect to pay significantly more than in-state students, potentially double or more.
* Room and board (on-campus): This adds several thousand dollars annually to the cost.
* Books and supplies: Budget several hundred dollars per year.
Without using the university's official cost calculator with your specific details, any number I provide would be an unreliable estimate. Use the university's official tools for the most accurate cost projection.
