So, you wanna be a Panther? How Much Will UWM Cost You?
Dreaming of cruising the shores of Lake Michigan, cramming for exams at the coolest coffee shops, and cheering on the UWM Panthers? Hold on to your cheese curds, because before you can say "Go Panthers!", you might be wondering: how much does attending UWM actually cost?
Fear not, future scholar! We've got the lowdown (and the highball) on the financial side of things at UWM. But first, a word to the wise: the cost of your UWM experience can be about as unique as the Milwaukee kringle (seriously, look it up). It all depends on your residency status, what kind of degree you're chasing, and whether you're living on campus or rocking a sweet off-campus pad.

Let's Break it Down: Tuition Tally Time!
Here's a sneak peek at the estimated tuition for the 2023-2024 school year (brace yourself, these are just numbers, they can't hurt you... much):

- Associate's Degree: Hold onto your cheeseheads, it's only $5,184!
- Bachelor's Degree: This might make you say "Holy moly!", but it's $9,620.
