Segregated fees (fees for health service, Memorial Union membership, intramural sports, bus pass, and student activities) are mandatory and are included in the total. Comprehensive health and dental insurance should be purchased separately. Students should anticipate a tuition increase of approximately five to ten percent for each subsequent year of their program.

Residency for Tuition Purposes
Wisconsin residency for tuition purposes is determined prior to enrollment and remains constant for the duration of your program. Students who attended a Wisconsin high school and whose parents are residents of the state for the 12 months prior to enrollment may be considered a resident of the state for tuition purposes, even if the student does not currently live in the state. Exemptions also apply for candidates whose spouses transferred to the state for employment purposes and for members of the military currently stationed in Wisconsin on active duty. Questions regarding residency for tuition purposes should be directed to the residency counselors in the Office of the Registrar (phone: 608/262-1355, or email: res4tuition@gabriel.acadsvcs.wisc.edu).
Minnesota-Wisconsin Reciprocity Agreement
Minnesota residents may be eligible for reduced tuition as a participant in the Minnesota-Wisconsin reciprocity agreement. Students certified under this agreement, although classified as non-residents, are assessed the comparable instructional fees in effect at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus, plus the segregated fees assessed all UW-Madison graduate students. Contact the Minnesota Higher Education Services Office for a reciprocity application.
Computer Requirement
The School of Business requires all master's students to own or have access to their own personal computer. To meet this requirement, U.S. citizens and Permanent Residents who apply for needs-based student loans through the Office of Student Financial Services will receive an additional $3,000 one-time computer purchase adjustment in their budget. Computer hardware and software specifications for interfacing with Wisconsin School of Business and UW-Madison technology are communicated upon admission.
