Important Notes: Tuition and fees for the 2022-23 academic have not been determined yet by the university's Board of Trustees. Figures shown reflect AY 2020-21 tuition & fees rate. Some UMass Boston courses are offered through the College of Advancing and Professional Studies (CAPS), a self-supporting component of the university. CAPS course costs differ somewhat and CAPS/CE courses are charged separately, and are not covered by the in-state tuition reciprocal agreement with NSE. Students have to pay out-of-pocket for CAPS/CE courses. Speak with the NSE Coordinator before registering for any of these courses.
