Paying for the LLM Program

Tuition & Fees | Planning Your Overall Budget | Scholarships & Financial Aid


Tuition & Fees

Your LLM budget includes tuition, required fees, and expenses such as books, housing, and food. The information below explains university charges and what else to consider when planning your budget. 

Tuition

Tuition rates are the same across all LLM tracks. The fully online Sports Law LLM is the only track that offers part-time study. For enrollment below nine credits per semester, tuition is calculated at the per-credit rate. At nine credits per semester, the full-time tuition rate applies. Required fees are charged separately.  To find tuition for your planned course load, select LLM, the applicable academic year, and your residency classification in the tuition table linked below. 

Tuition and fees are subject to change each academic year. Students studying part time should budget for applicable fees each semester they enroll and potential rate changes over the course of the program. 

Required Fees

Mandatory enrollment fees differ for students attending on the Eugene campus and those enrolled exclusively online. The table below shows how each fee applies under the university’s current fee structure.

Health Insurance

International students enrolled in the full-time, in-person LLM program are automatically enrolled in and billed for the UO international student health insurance plan unless they receive an approved waiver. Domestic LLM students may be eligible to purchase coverage through the UO student health insurance plan.  

Review the university’s health insurance information for current eligibility requirements, premiums, coverage dates, and waiver procedures. 

Visa-Related Fees

International students applying for an F-1 visa should budget for the SEVIS fee. Visit the SEVIS website for current fee amounts and payment instructions.  

The university’s publishes law student cost-of-attendance estimates that may be helpful in identifying expenses to consider but are designed for full-time law students living in Eugene. They do not provide a separate estimate for online or part-time LLM students.
