Tuition and Fees — McGeorge

Note: Like most U.S. universities, Pacific’s Board of Regents sets tuition each year. The board tries to keep increases as low as possible. In recent years, increases have averaged about 3 percent per year—less than most of our peers. Note that tuition and increases can vary between programs to meet specific needs. The University reserves the right to change fees, modify services or change its programs at any time and without prior notice.
