Summer Edge

Tuition for a three-credit class is the normal tuition price for nonresident students minus the discount amount, which is just over $1,000 for a three-credit class. The discount does not include a discount on fees. Check out the tuition and fees section for more information on costs.

The Summer Edge tuition discount cannot be combined with any other tuition waiver or nonresident discounted tuition/scholarships you may already be receiving. This discount is not valid for student’s with WUE, fully online programs at MSU, WWAMI, MSU’s accelerated B.S.N. program, or Gallatin College courses.

Staff in Student Accounts/Financial Aid will provide you with the best financial package possible given the terms and conditions we have with Federal Financial Aid Policy.
