Academic Common Market may Allow Some Out-of-State Students to Pay In-State Tuition for UNC Charlotte's PSM in Bioinformatics

Some 'out-of-state' students may be able to pay 'In-State Tuition and Fees' through the Academic Common Market.
The Academic Common Market (UNC-ACM) is a cooperative tuition-reduction agreement among 16 states that participate in the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB):  Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. Students from states that already have a PSM in Bioinformatics are generally ineligible to participate in the 'in-state' tuition incentive at UNC Charlotte.

Therefore, we encourage students from Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and West Virginia to pursue and utilize the ACM.

Under this program, qualified students from states outside North Carolina may apply through their own state's ACM coordinator for reduced tuition rates at UNC Charlotte while pursuing programs that are not available in their home state’s university system.  In essence, qualified students are considered “in-state” residents during the time they are pursuing their specified degree program, therefore making them eligible for reduced tuition rates and other opportunities afforded residents who attend the institution.

If you are a resident of Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee or West Virginia, please click here for details on getting started.
