2021-2022 Estimated Tuition and Fees
The cost of a UMass Amherst education includes tuition and required fees, and if you live on campus, you will have a room and board charge on your bill.
Rates are established in the spring for the following academic year. The Bursar's website has an explanation of all the required fees.
| Tuition & Fees | Room & Board | Total | |
| In-State | $16,439 | $14,217 | $30,656 |

Certain international students may qualify for in-state tuition, depending on their visa type. Examples include:
- dependent students on H-4 visas, whose parents have been residing and working in Massachusetts for a year or more;
- students who have received Deferred Status through the Obama initiative.
International students on student visas will not qualify for in-state tuition. International students will be considered out-of-state for tuition residency purposes; they must contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office and provide appropriate visa documentation in order to initiate a residency reclassification review.
