Verified totals matching your selected cost basis come first. Other prices and estimates remain below, alphabetically. Rate years can differ; this is not a ranking of total attendance cost.
Tuition row sum excludes six $523 student fees. Including those fees reconciles to the published $126,141 direct-cost total. Other attendance expenses are additional.
$8,967 + 6 × $19,006 = $123,003 tuition
Published resident total includes tuition and mandatory/program fees. Nonresident figure is WITHOUT the waiver; the source lists $115,614.25 for eligible students receiving a $56,875 waiver. The displayed waiver scenario’s yearly rows do not reconcile with its total, so confirm it directly.

Montana’s public-program comparison depends on residency and any approved waiver. University of Montana publishes nonresident costs both with and without a waiver; the lower figure must not be presented as an automatic discount.
No current full-program quote meets the comparison criteria above. Review each card’s rate year, estimate or missing information before comparing costs.

No. The source publishes both scenarios. This page shows the amount without the waiver and identifies the conditional lower estimate in the notes.
Accreditation and state placement use the current ARC-PA roster, with program sites for campus details. Each cost card links to its university source. “Verified” means the displayed amount and scope were located in an official source on the review date; it does not mean the rate applies to every future entering class.
Tuition-only and tuition-plus-fees totals stay separate. Annual and per-term figures are not treated as full-program totals. Calculated estimates are labelled and excluded from full-program sorts. “Not verified” means a reliable comparable amount was not established, not that a program is free.
Continued, Provisional and Probation are accreditation statuses; applicant programs are not yet accredited. “F” identifies a focused visit. Program-specific cost and accreditation details here reflect this state review; the national directory and paid comparison dataset retain their separately dated snapshots.
