Texas cost view
Texas schools in the dataset: two giant publics and one small private
The Texas pages cover a large public flagship in Austin, a large public university in College Station, and a small private university in Houston. The two public schools turn on residency; the private school turns on grant aid.
This page covers only the Texas schools in the dataset. Confirm residency and program charges with each school before planning around a total.
| School | City | One-year total | Four years, no increase | Four years, 3% yearly increase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| University of Texas at Austin | Austin | $27,240 | $108,960 | $113,962 |
| Texas A&M University | College Station | $27,266 | $109,064 | $114,071 |
| Rice University | Houston | $83,684 | $334,736 | $350,103 |
How to use this state view
Start with schools you can realistically attend, not every name in the table. Then open each school page and check the tuition basis. Public schools can change the answer when resident status changes. Private schools remove the residency line but can still vary by housing, program, and grant aid.
Use the calculator to hold housing and grant assumptions steady across schools. That is how you find out whether a difference comes from tuition or from the way you have modeled living costs.
What this page cannot tell you
It cannot tell you admission chances, grant aid, program quality, graduate earnings, or whether a school is worth the price. It gives a dated cost record so the money side of the decision starts with the same facts for every school.
