The estimates listed on the above PDF are used for federal financial aid calculation purposes. International students may use these figures as a guideline for creating personal budgets. I-20 eligibility is NOT based on these estimates (please refer to www.cmu.edu/oie).

Because of the part-time and fulltime enrollment options available to program students, annual cost of attendance varies per student. The below table identifies the 2011- 2012 tuition schedule based on per-unit enrollment.
