Law School students are charged flat-rate tuition. The Dollars
and Sense Web site contains important information about tuition:
how rates are set, tuition costs, and how tuition is used. The Frequently
Asked Questions page provides information about flat-rate
tuition.
**This figure represents the average debt of UT Law students after completing all three
years of law school, irrespective of residency, who use student loans to finance their law
school degrees. Accordingly, the amount for residents would be slightly lower than the
figure reported and, for nonresidents, slightly higher. When comparing this figure with
those of other law schools, it is important that you verify whether the program calculates
average debt using only actual borrowers (as UT does) or using all students, including
those who did not receive financial aid.
