Tuition Rates

The figures below may be used to plan for the 2025 -2026 academic year costs at Ferris State University effective Fall 2025. Undergraduate tuition is based on 14 credit hours per semester.

Undergraduate tuition is based on the grade level of the student. Freshman/Sophomore students have earned zero through 55 credit hours, and Junior/Senior students have earned 56 or more credit hours. The number of earned credit hours determines the tuition rate charged to each student – not the level of classes the student is enrolled in.
