Ecampus program cost calculator

1. Select your program type

Undergraduate programs

Graduate programs

* College of Business and College of Engineering students are charged a differential in addition to the regular tuition. The above lists current tuition and fees for business and engineering students who take Ecampus courses (in any subject).

2. Enter number of quarter-term credits

Note: Oregon State University is on a quarter-term system. There are four quarters each year and classes are 11 weeks long including one week for finals. How does a quarter term compare to a semester term?

Want to pursue an Oregon State Ecampus degree? To determine the total number of quarter-term credits required for your Ecampus program of interest, you'll need to check the graduation requirements of that degree/program and subtract your best estimate of how many transfer credits you have from the program's total number of credits. Most four-year undergraduate programs require a total of 180 quarter-term credits.

Just want to take a few Oregon State Ecampus courses? Most courses are 3 to 4 quarter-term credits each. Therefore, four courses might equal 12 credits. Check the Ecampus schedule of classes to review online courses and their numbers of credits. Course credits are found in parentheses next to course titles.

3. Choose applicable one-time fees

Advance Tuition Deposit (ATD) (a one-time deposit, not a fee)
FYI: If you are admitted to OSU as a degree-seeking student, you must submit an Advance Tuition Deposit (ATD) of $200 to create your student account. This is not a separate fee, but an up-front deposit that is applied to your total cost of tuition.

Application fee (one-time, nonrefundable)
Application fees vary by student type and are valid for one term change within the academic year.

Matriculation fee (degree-seeking students only)
A one-time matriculation fee is assessed to all new and transfer degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate students.
