Metro Rate

More than 100 counties across Kentucky and Ohio now qualify for significantly reduced tuition at Marshall University through our Metro Rate – meaning the price of earning a Marshall degree is now comparable to nearby public institutions, but with the added value of personalized support, career-connected learning and a campus experience rooted opportunity.

But first, we’re making the college dream affordable for all as we increase our student enrollment, not fees.
Our new Metro tuition rates could put an out-of-state college experience within financial reach while keeping you close to your home. Effective Fall 2023, the Metro tuition rate and scholarship awards are offered to residents of the following counties:
