So how much more is international tuition? We urge our students to do their homework on each school's costs, because it is impossible to generalize this into one answer. Sometimes it's more expensive, but other times it is roughly the same. The only clear difference, is that public schools, since they are government funded, almost always charge more for international students. However, as in the instance of the University of Pittsburgh, this increased price can still be less than that of private universities like Duquesne and Carnegie Melon.
