Tuition

The grades and credits you earn through these courses are recorded on an official Cornell University transcript. As such, these classes—and all credit-bearing offerings—are subject to the Cornell tuition rate set by the university’s Board of Trustees.
The tuition rate for fall 2025 through summer 2026 is $1,940 per credit.
Example: A three-credit course at $1,940 per credit = $5,820
