In-State vs. Out-of-Staters: The Tuition Two-Step
Austin Peay operates on a tiered tuition system, so the cost depends on two main factors: whether you're a resident of Tennessee (lucky you!) and how many credit hours you plan to take per semester.
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
In-State All-Stars: If you hail from the great state of Tennessee, you're in luck! You'll be charged a lower in-state tuition rate. Buckle up for some numbers: for the 2023-2024 school year, in-state students pay $292 per credit hour for the first 12 hours. That's like a Netflix subscription, but way more rewarding (unless your idea of a reward is hours of binge-watching). After you hit hour 13, things get even sweeter with a discounted rate of $58 per credit hour.
Out-of-State Adventurers: Coming from out of state? Don't worry, you're still welcome! The price tag is a little steeper for our non-Tennessee residents. You'll pay a base rate of $231 per credit hour for the first 12 hours, on top of the in-state rate. That adds up to a total of $523 per credit hour for those initial hours. But hey, there's a silver lining! There's no additional out-of-state charge for hours 13 and above (phew!).
Important Note: These are just estimates based on the previous academic year. Be sure to check the official Austin Peay website for the most up-to-date tuition information (
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
Don't Forget the Extras!
Tuition isn't the only cost to consider. Factor in things like:
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
- Housing: Dorms, apartments, that creepy guy's basement you found on Craigslist (not recommended).
- Meal Plan: Ramen gets old fast, trust us.
- Books and Supplies: Highlighters, notebooks, that existential dread you'll accumulate in philosophy class (all essential).
Austin Peay has a handy dandy Cost of Attendance calculator on their website to help you estimate the total cost (
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
