School of Music, Art, and Theatre Tuition and Fees

Students in the master of music in performance (MMP) program benefits from a straightforward per-credit-hour tuition rate, which includes all course fees.

• Tuition is $970 per semester hour.
• The MMP degree is designed to be completed in two years of full-time study. Students should also plan for slight per-credit-hour cost increases over their course of study.
• North Park may bill you for a few other fees; see the table below.
• Your only additional costs for courses will be for books, materials, lessons, and accompanists that you will arrange on your own. These costs can vary depending on what courses or lessons you need to take, how you obtain textbooks, and a variety of other factors.

Cost Calculation Example

Every student is unique in the number of courses they will take, what financial aid they can access, and tuition per credit hour typically changes from year to year. However, as a starting point, if you were to complete the MMVP or MMCP program at North Park and pay full price (no tuition reduction scholarships, grants, etc.) your total cost could be estimated as follows:

• The MMP degree is 36 semester hours.
• At this year’s tuition rate ($970 per credit hour), a load of 8–10 semester hours would cost $7,760–$9700.
• The MMP is designed to be completed in two years of full-time study. Adjusting for slight per-credit-hour cost increases over time, a tuition cost range could be $35,000 to $38,000 for a degree program.

Remember that these costs may be lowered by financial aid packages. Graduate music students may qualify for a merit-based graduate music scholarship based on their audition and interview. Learn more.
