It can be a bit scary to look at the total projected cost of a college education over the course of a multi-year degree, however, doing so will help you better understand the financial commitment you are making.

The overall cost for on-campus, in-state students to attend The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in 2019 - 2020 was $20,946. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 2.3% each year.

If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $21,933 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $23,503, for a bachelor degree candidate ($22,445 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $90,848 over the course of four years ($44,378 over the course of two years). These numbers do not take into consideration financial aid, which reduces this overall cost by varying amounts per student.

The cost for out-of-state students is more, with an overall expected four-year cost of $138,298 based on a yearly growth rate of 3.1%. The expected two-year cost is $67,052.
