Tuition and Fees
Tuition and fees are subject to change and are determined by LMU main campus. For information regarding tuition and fees, please visit the Student Financial Services webpage using the link below.
Please note that some fees may not be specifically listed. Any questions about tuition rates, fees, or financial aid should be directed to the Student Financial Services team.
Students previously enrolled in the VBMS program who become new CVM-I students prior to completion of the VBMS degree may complete their VBMS courses at no additional tuition charge above tuition paid for their CVM-I year, provided the total credits in courses for both programs do not exceed the maximum number in the typical CVM-I schedule (see CVM Course Catalog for credit hours). VBMS students who return to complete the degree at any time will be charged the tuition rate in force when they return to complete the required courses. Students desiring to complete the MS degree in CVM-II or later will be charged the tuition rate in force when taking the courses.
After completing the core required courses for the VBMS Thesis Track, the tuition rate for VBMS Thesis Research course credits shall be the same as other VBMS credit hours for that year.
