Estimated Costs
For information regarding payment of the application fee, tuition and fees click HERE
To better understand the financial reality of living and studying while attending UNB's School of Graduate Studies, we have created the following estimate of costs for International and Domestic graduate students. All fees are subject to change; these are strictly approximations for planning purposes only and cannot be guaranteed due to inflation, exchange rate fluctuations, and personal spending habits. The program fee reflects tuition for September 2013 - August 2014.
Graduate students who are on the Saint John campus will not have to pay for the Graduate Student Association (GSA) Universal Bus Pass, and the Graduate Student Association fee is slightly less.
The following estimates are for full-time students only. Tuition and Fees differ for students in Part-time, Continuing, Qualifying or MBA program options, please check with financial services for these.
Definitions:
Research-Based- Graduate programs involve a thesis or dissertation component
Course-Based- Graduate programs involve course-work only
