The University of Utah in Salt Lake City set tuition and fees at $9,620 for in-state students in 2024, according to the latest disclosure from the National Center for Education Statistics.

This places the university as the ninth least expensive public institution in Utah for 2024.

In-state tuition and fees rose by $305 compared to the previous year.

Out-of-state students paid $30,860 in 2024, an increase of $1,023 from the prior year.

Among public institutions statewide, the University of Utah charged the highest tuition and fees for in-state students in 2024.

In the 2023-24 school year, graduate and undergraduate students received more than $256 billion in financial aid.

The average cost of college has more than doubled in the 21st century, growing by approximately 4% every year. In-state students can expect to spend nearly $10,000 on tuition alone per year at a public, 4-year post-secondary school. Meanwhile, out-of-state tuition averages $28,386.

Student loan debt has steadily increased over the last 30 years, reaching $1.75 trillion in 2024, averaging nearly $29,000 per borrower. Federal loans make up 92% of the debt, with over half of students at both public and private four-year colleges graduating with student loans.
