Tuition and Fees

2025-2026 Undergraduate Cost of Attendance Including Tuition & Fees

The tuition cost to attend LMU is substantially below the national average for 4-year private universities. The amounts included in the cost of each semester’s registration are placed on the student’s account by Student Financial Services. Interest charges are added to unpaid balances at the end of each month. All charges are subject to audit and verification. The University reserves the right to correct errors by applying additional charges or credits to individual student accounts. The following undergraduate rates are effective for Fall Semester 2025.

Direct & Indirect Costs

Lincoln Memorial University is proud to offer exciting educational opportunities at a lesser cost than many private universities. The following is a guide to the cost of attending LMU as an undergraduate student for the 2025-2026 school year.

Cost of Attendance (COA) is the estimated amount it will cost a student to go to school. The COA is comprised of different components – some of which are direct (billable) and indirect (non-billable). Examples of direct costs are tuition and fees.  Examples of indirect costs are transportation and miscellaneous personal expenses. LMU offers several on-campus housing and food plan options. Review the options below, as direct costs may differ from the average costs used in the COA.
