How much will it cost to study in the IEP? Most students in the IEP are citizens of other countries. Therefore, they are not considered to be residents of Missouri. The instructional fees for non-resident students are given below. A few IEP students are classified as Missouri residents, so their fees are lower. Please note that all of the fees shown in this website are for non-residents of Missouri unless the text specifically says the fees are for Missouri residents.

All university fees must be paid in full at the time of registration. You may pay with a check, money order, travelers check, or credit card (VISA, MASTERCARD, or DISCOVER). Note that all fees are subject to change without notice. Students who are sponsored by a government, university or private corporation must provide evidence of the scholarship authorization.

Medical Insurance

MU requires that all international students buy MU’s medical insurance policy unless a student has a scholarship which includes medical insurance. The cost of the medical insurance policy is about $110.00 per month. For more information, read the Health Services & Medical Insurance page of this site.

Living Expenses

The cost of living and other expenses varies according to habits, customs, and circumstances. Expenses which must be considered are housing, food, books, and some minor expenses. The estimated annual (12 months) living costs for a single student are $16,050.

Prepayment

Each student is required to make an advance payment of $50.00. (It is not necessary for students with scholarships to make this advance payment if they enclose a copy of their scholarship authorization.) The prepayment will be credited toward the total instructional fees at registration. The $50.00 fee is not transferable to another person but is transferable to another semester if the person cannot come for the session to which he/she was originally admitted. Prepayments will be refunded only if the person is not accepted into the program.

The IEP on-line application has a section in which you can pay the $50.00 prepayment by credit card. Secure On-line IEP application form.
