Estimated Cost of Attendance at ATU

2025-2026 Estimated Cost of Attendance

Please note the cost of attendance is not what you owe the school, it is an estimate of possible costs associated with attending the university for a full year. 

Actual costs are those you will pay to Arkansas Tech University, such as tuition, fees, and on-campus housing and a meal plan.  You can use the tuition and fees calculator at https://www.atu.edu/stuaccts/tuitionfees.php to estimate actual costs for the year. 

Non-institutional costs are expenses you may incur while attending college.  These are estimates and may include: books, supplies, transportation and miscellaneous expenses such as laundry or entertainment.
