View 2025-2026 Cost of Attendance
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 2024-2025 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.
