Cost of Attendance
Alaska's universities are rated as some of the most affordable in the United States.
- Tuition and fees vary by university and from campus to campus, and actual costs will depend on program, course level, number of credits taken, residency, living arrangements and lifestyle.
- On-campus room and board is approximately $10,000 - $15,000 depending on location, room and meal plans.

The University of Alaska Board of Regents voted August 4 to eliminate out-of-state tuition (aka 鈥渘onresident tuition鈥 or 鈥淣RT鈥) effective for the 2027-28 academic year.
Starting next fall, all students attending the University of Alaska Anchorage (绿奴天花板A), University of Alaska Fairbanks (绿奴天花板F), and University of Alaska Southeast (绿奴天花板S) will pay the same tuition rates as Alaska residents.
