University of Dayton Master of Laws Fees and Living Costs 2027

The cost of living for international students at the University of Dayton varies depending on accommodation, personal spending and lifestyle. Although the university does not publish a separate living-cost estimate for the on-campus LL.M. programme, its official Estimated Academic Program Costs for Documentation range from USD 26,870 to USD 36,920 for one year, depending on the programme. These estimates include tuition for the fall and spring terms, 12 months of living expenses and miscellaneous costs. Since the School of Law is not listed separately, Indian students should contact the university for a programme-specific estimate.

Students should also budget approximately USD 2,000 - 3,000 for additional expenses related to visa applications and international travel. These are planning estimates, not official University of Dayton charges. Students may explore external scholarships and other funding opportunities to reduce their overall expenses.

The on-campus LL.M. programme has a tuition fee and School of Law fee of USD 42,350 (INR 40.02 Lakhs). Adding the estimated visa and travel expenses brings these costs to approximately USD 44,350–45,350 (INR 41.91–42.86 Lakhs). However, this amount does not include living expenses, so it should not be presented as the complete cost of studying in the USA.
