The Undergraduate College Fee is one of four fee categories based on a student's program of study. ASU conducted a comprehensive review of all instructional costs for every program. Programs of study with similar costs were grouped together, and those fees were averaged to determine an amount of each category. Please note that some programs of study are categorized differently based on a student's online or immersion status. *Visit the Tuition Estimator to determine your Undergraduate College Fee.
