Published undergraduate tuition $9,896
Finding Indiana Institute of Technology-College of Professional Studies charges about 0.3× the national private non-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $9,896. That is about 0.3× the national private non-profit median ($29,325). Versus the Indiana median ($10,090), sticker tuition is 2% below. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 17% below.
