* (NOTE: The Fall 2008 per credit hour rate incorporates a phased restructuring of
existing tuition and fees over three years. Energy and matriculation fees, which students
had previously paid each semester, are being incorporated into the per credit hour cost.)
** (NOTE: The tuition amount for undergraduate students beginning enrollment
during the 2005/2006 academic year, is net of a
$9.75 per credit hour rebate for the 2005/06 academic year.)
*** (NOTE: Effective Fall semester 1992, MSU switched from
4 terms per year to 3 semesters per year, which explains the large
increase in tuition.)
