Student Expenses

2007-08 Tuition  & Fees

Florida State University College of Law was recently rated as the "No. 4 Best Value Law School" by National Jurist and has consistently been rated a "good value" by U.S. News & World Report. We are proud of our ability to provide a first rate law school education at an affordable and reasonable cost to our students. As a state university, our tuition and fees are established by the Florida Legislature and are subject to change at any given time.  

The total cost of tuition and fees for each semester depends upon the number of credit hours taken. The Tuition and Fee Schedule for 2007-08 is set forth below.

Historically, nonresidents have been eligible to seek reclassification to residents after their first year in law school.  Recent legislative proposals suggest that reclassification options may be limited or eliminated in the future.
