mommytobees Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Dropping in after a very long absence....I can't figure out if grad school charges out of state tuition. Anyone have any idea? I live in AZ, but after Ky & I graduate I want to move to the Portland OR area (I'll include U of O in that for the short term). I'm looking at George Fox, PSU, U of O, and possibly Lewis & Clark (however they are on the bottom of my list as their program isn't exactly what I want). How do I figure this out short of contacting the schools and asking.....which I'll do, I just want instant answers. What is wrong with Google! Thanks, Kris ETA: oops, I put U of P and not PSU. duh Edited February 18, 2016 by mommytobees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyD Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) As far as I know, yes, graduate programs at state schools generally have different rates for in-state and out-of-state students. This info should be accessible through the graduate school's website, although you might have to delve into a graduate student handbook or similar. I did not look for all the schools you mentioned (and I some of them are private anyway) but here's the tuition calculator for U of Oregon: http://registrar.uoregon.edu/costs/tuition-fees Edited February 18, 2016 by JennyD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootsie Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Usually, an out-of-state tuition rate will apply for state universities at the graduate level. Often if you qualify for some type of graduate assistantship the out-of-state portion of tuition will be waived. What you must do to qualify for in state tuition will vary from state to state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you must do for in-state tuition will often be easier as a graduate student than as an undergrad as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
908874 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 What are you going to study? PhDs in the sciences many times are all paid for with a research grant or teaching fellowship. I don't know about other programs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommytobees Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Okey dokey, thank you! I'm looking to get a masters in Marriage and Family Therapy, or something that looks like it. I'd settle for an MSW (social work), but I'd rather be an LMFT than a LCSW. Thanks! Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 No advice as I'm looking at out of state grad school possibly in the next few years. I just wanted to say hello and wish you well on your journey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 When I was a TA they waived the difference between out-of-state tuition and in-state tuition and paid me a small stipend. It wasn't enough to live on; I still needed loans. The waived amount was considered financial aid, and it counted against how much I was allowed to borrow.

Crimson Wife Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Check the Western Regional Graduate Program because AZ and OR are both participating states. WRGP tuition is higher than in-state but cheaper than OOS. http://www.wiche.edu/wrgp Not all grad programs in those states participate in WRGP but it's definitely something to research. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
