Several variables make estimating the cost of your MAgr degree less than straightforward. While this page attempts to summarize the costs, we highly recommend that you visit the Texas A&M University Office of Distance Education page for the most up-to-date information.
In general, your semester costs can be broken
into three categories:
tuition, fees and instructional enhancement.
The section below details each category individually.

Tuition levels are set by the state government,
and for the academic year 2004-2005 are as follows:

University Fees
Every university levies additional fees to cover expenses such as library
access, student services, software licensing, etc. By virtue of their off-campus
nature, distance students are exempt from some of these fees (such as Health
Center fee) but do pay a Distance Education fee. International students may
expect more fees not calculated here. Again, we encourage you to visit the
official TAMU
Office of Distance Education site to determine the exact cost for your
situation.
Instructional Enhancement & Equipment
Access Fee
Finally, each department has the option of levying an instructional enhancement/equipment
access fee. To quote the Division of Finance's web site: "The fee is
used for the purchase and maintenance of equipment, visual aids, other supplemental
materials, and educational supplies to provide students with a rich learning
environment." In the case of distance education, you can think of it
as a fee to help departments cover the additional overhead associated with
delivering classes at a distance. Some departments may levy fees up to $1,200
or more per class, while others charge no fee at all. The Division of Finance
maintains a chart
detailing potential fees. We encourage you to contact the department in question
to determine the exact amount of instructional enhancement / equipment access
fee to expect.
