Graduate Tuition and Fees
Drexel University's College of Computing & Informatics (CCI) is committed to making graduate programs accessible to students from diverse backgrounds. Drexel provides each student a comprehensive estimate of the individualized cost of attendance via the Discover Drexel Portal after admission.
For a better understanding of the tuition calculation process, it’s important to note the following:
- Drexel University runs on a quarter system, with four terms per calendar year: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer.
- CCI admits students for the Fall and Winter terms.
- Tuition is charged per credit and students are charged a student fee for each quarter they are registered. NOTE: All MS programs at CCI are 45 credits. Post-Baccalaureate Certificates range between 9 to 15 credits.
- Each estimate includes a calculation of tuition, fees, room and board, personal transportation, and book/supply costs based on degree program and expected enrollment.
- Full-time master’s students enroll in three courses (nine credits) per quarter.
Visit Drexel Central for full tuition information. International students can visit Cost of Attendance for International Students for additional tuition information.
