Why does it cost less to graduate on
time?
During the past four years, the cost of tuition has gone up at public
universities across Texas an average of 5 to 10 percent a year, which
means each year of school costs more than the previous year. That means
graduating in four years will cost thousands of dollars less than
graduating in six years.
In addition, UNT
students can participate in the Texas Tuition Rebate program which
returns $1,000 to all qualifying students who graduate on time and
within the state’s requirements for earning a degree. Learn more about
the Tuition Rebate program at

And, according to a
recent report released by the federal government, a person with a
bachelor’s degree earns about $23,000 more per year than someone with
only a high school diploma. Over a lifetime, that usually translates
into about $1 million more earned by someone with a bachelor’s degree.
So graduating sooner
means your education costs less and you’re able to earn more sooner.
What if I can’t take more than 12 hours a semester?
You don’t have to take more than 12 hours, it’s just that doing so will
help you graduate faster and save you money. It’s most important to us
that you earn your college education. UNT offers a great education for a
reasonable cost, and even taking 12 hours a semester (especially if you
also can take some hours in summer school) is a very good value.
What else can I do to finish
my degree sooner?
UNT offers many summer school
sessions of varying lengths so you can choose how much you want to study
during the summer. Taking just 3 to 6 hours for two summers will
significantly impact how quickly you graduate, especially if you also
take 15 hours during each fall and spring semester.
