Public Notice of Proposed Tuition Increase for Three Graduate Programs

UCF is dedicated to providing a high-quality education that prepares students for success in their careers and delivers lasting value.

As part of that commitment, UCF is proposing tuition changes for three market tuition rate graduate programs beginning in Fall 2027. The proposed changes would support investments in faculty, academic instruction, technology, and student services to ensure these programs continue to meet the needs of students and the industries they serve.

We recognize that tuition costs are an important consideration for students and families. UCF remains focused on delivering exceptional educational value while responsibly managing the resources that support academic excellence and student success. This proposal will not affect the tuition or fees of undergraduate students or graduate students not in the three affected programs at UCF.

If approved, the university will communicate directly with students enrolled in these programs and work with them to identify available financial assistance options.

Proposed changes would affect only the following programs:

• Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA)
• Professional Master of Business Administration (PMBA)
• Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM)
