Distance Learning

Out-of-State Online Program

Non-resident of Texas online students will matriculate under the Distance Learning Out-of-State Online Program. In the Distance Learning Out-of-State Online program, your tuition and other costs will be much less than what a typical non-resident/out-of-state student would pay. Many students, especially depending on their local school options, will save 40% to 50% in tuition and fees.

Please note that these charges are based on the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 Academic years and are estimates to be used for planning purposes only. This chart is only for UTA Non-Texas Residents prospective students who plan to enroll in our BSW, MSW, or DSW Distance Learning Out-of-State Online programs (charges above include tuition and fees showing per course or scheduled credit hour (SCH) for undergraduate (UGRD) and graduate (GRAD) courses). To be billed correctly, Distance Learning Out-of-State Online students must enroll in the Distance Learning Out-of-State online course section for each of their classes.

Non-resident students who are enrolled in a distance learning course(s) (online) and are physically residing outside the state of Texas are charged a fee in lieu of Mandatory Tuition and Fees. The fee rate is equivalent to Tuition and Mandatory Fees for a Texas Resident enrolled in the same distance education course(s), plus an additional $20 per SCH. Some courses may have an additional Distance Learning Course Fee of $20 - $500 per course. See the table above. As a result of actions by the Texas Legislature to improve affordability in higher education, all resident undergraduate academic costs, including tuition, mandatory academic fees, all academic-related general fees, and college course fees, have been frozen for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 academic years. Based on the student referendum, Resolution 24-03, “Renovate & Renew,” the student union fee will increase to $150 per semester, effective Fall 2024.

All other prospective students (face-to-face and Texas residents) should follow the UTA Tuition Estimator.
