However, when it comes to tuition fees, the USA is also one of the most misunderstood study destinations. Many students assume that all American universities are \u201cextremely expensive\u201d without realising that fees in the USA vary dramatically based on course type, university category, state, and residency status.

Unlike many countries that follow a centralised fee system, tuition fees in the United States are determined individually by universities and are heavily influenced by institution type, state policies, course level, and residency status. As a result, two students studying the same course at different universities can end up paying vastly different amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Student Category<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Undergraduate (UG) Fees \/ Year<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Postgraduate (PG) Fees \/ Year<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Public Universities (In-State)<\/td><td>USD 8,000 \u2013 15,000<\/td><td>USD 10,000 \u2013 20,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Public Universities (Out-of-State \/ International)<\/td><td>USD 25,000 \u2013 40,000<\/td><td>USD 20,000 \u2013 35,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Private Universities<\/td><td>USD 35,000 \u2013 65,000<\/td><td>USD 30,000 \u2013 55,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Community Colleges (UG only)<\/td><td>USD 6,000 \u2013 12,000<\/td><td>Not applicable<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Professional PG Programs (MBA, MD, JD)<\/td><td>&#8211;<\/td><td>USD 40,000 \u2013 80,000+<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-public-vs-private-universities\"><span id=\"public-vs-private-universities\">Public vs Private Universities<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>US universities are broadly divided into public and private institutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Public universities<\/strong> are funded partly by state governments.
