2025-2026 Academic Year Resident Rate Estimates

These tables illustrate the estimated cost of attendance for Missouri and Kansas residents or nonresidents who have been awarded the Roo Nation scholarship.

Each table includes cost information for one of our academic program rates, listed in alphabetical order by school, and breaks out estimates for direct and indirect costs so you can compare what it may cost to live with a parent or guardian, off campus or on campus while pursuing your degree at UMKC.

Tuition and fee costs are based on enrollment in 28 credit hours for the Academic Year (Fall and Spring), except for dental hygiene, which is based on 34 credit hours.
