2026-2027 Missoula College Out-of-State Cost of Attendance (COA)
The four possible enrollment statuses are 12 or more credits, 9 to 11 credits, 6 to 8 credits and 1 to 5 credits. When initial award offers are made it is assumed that undergraduates will be enrolled in 12 or more credits each semester. The COA is adjusted to reflect a student's actual enrollment status during the final review process.
A Missoula College Out-of-State student's Cost of Attendance (COA) is made up of two different types of costs: direct and indirect. The costs listed below are for a typical academic year (fall semester and spring semester).
Direct costs are items that will appear on the University bills, such as tuition, fees, books, housing and meals (if living on campus).
Indirect costs will not appear on the bill but are estimated costs associated with going to college and should be included in the budget. These include items like transportation and personal expenses.
