The Benefits of Banded Tuition

SMSU offers banded tuition to all students, including internationals.   Banded tuition is when you pay the same costs for taking between 12 to 18 credits.   All undergraduate international students must take at least 12 credits to maintain legal visa status throughout their studies.  However, many students often take more to complete their degree in a shorter amount of time.  Whether you take 12 or 18 credits, you will pay the same amount.  This helps students take more credits, save monies, and finish their degree in a shorter amount of time.
