Bachelor of Science in Accounting

Tuition

Texas residency is not based on citizenship. It is based on when you moved to the state and how long you have continuously resided here. Please visit Residency for detailed information.

Tuition at UT Dallas is on a sliding scale. The more credit hours you take a semester, the cheaper the credit hours are, and the sooner you finish the degree, therefore, the lower the total cost of the degree.

UT Dallas also offers a guaranteed tuition plan, so whatever the credit hour rate is when you come into your program that will not change during your program. Payment plans for tuition and short-term loans are available. Please visit UT Dallas Bursar’s Office for complete details.

Scholarships

We offer the Dean’s Excellence Scholarship program for new and returning students. This is our primary means of supporting our undergraduate student’s financial needs. This is a competitive scholarship program and the main criterion for new students joining the program is based on high SAT score and GPA.

The scholarship provides you with $1,000 (one-time for the year) and in-state-tuition for the entire year. So, we encourage you to apply for the Dean’s Excellence Scholarship.

In addition to scholarships, US citizens may apply for financial aid through the UT Dallas Financial Aid Office.
