Time to degree is calculated by summing the number of major terms (Fall, Spring and Summer) attended by each student who graduated in a particular year and then dividing by 3 (the number of major terms in a year).

First-Time Freshmen Merit-Based Scholarships

These scholarships are based on GPA and are automatically awarded to admitted students.

Competitive Foundation Scholarships

These scholarships are available to all students. Applicants must complete the JAX App by February 1 to be considered. The Jack and Tracy Lyle Endowed Scholarship is available to students in Applied Engineering programs. Students must complete the JAX App to be considered.

Transfer Scholarships

A variety of merit-based scholarships are available to transfer students. 

NSF S-STEM Program

Domestic low-income students with academic ability are enrolled in a STEM program, such as Applied Manufacturing Engineering, may be considered for this program provided they add a data science component (such as a minor) to their academic program. Eligible students may receive $5,000 per semester for up to 8 semesters if the student is enrolled full-time and maintains good academic standing.

 

Up-to-date tuition costs are published on the Office of Student Accounts website.

As of Spring semester 2026, the cost of attendance to complete 120 hours of coursework is estimated as follows:

Cost per semester @ 15 credit hours per semester

In-state tuition = $5295

General University Fee = $750

College of Business and Industry Fee = $100

Total per semester = $6145

$6145 x 8 semesters = $49,160

 

Graduate Tuition for 2025-2026

Graduate Online Hours = $434 per credit hour

Total cost = 30 credit hours x $434 per credit hour = $13020 + General University Fee

Tuition and fees are subject to change. This is an estimate based on 2025-2026 tuition rates. This amount does not include housing, transportation, books, or other expenses. This amount does not include scholarships or other financial aid.

Based on student feedback from the Applied Engineering Graduating Senior Survey

Program 2025 Placement Rate
B.S. Applied Manufacturing Engineering  39% (11/28)
B.S. Industrial Leadership 25% (1/4)
B.S. Occupational Safety and Health Management 84% (21/25)

Students in the M.S. Manufacturing Systems Technology work full-time in the field. Placement data is therefore not collected for this group.
