If you take all classes online, you will pay the resident tuition rate (regardless of where you live). Tuition rates can be found on the Registrar's website. However, if you take any face-to-face classes, you will be required to pay the non-resident tuition rate.
If you are a domestic student, you can be living anywhere in the country and enroll to take online classes and complete the MFS degree entirely online. International students who are on an F1 visa must be on campus and are allowed to take one online course per semester; the rest of the courses must be taken in the face-to-face mode.
Please note that currently, the online program is not available for international students. International students can apply to the program and follow it on-campus. While on campus, F-1 international students can only count ONE online class toward their minimum number of credits required to maintain full-time status each semester. If a student only needs one course to complete the program of study in a given semester, the course cannot be online.
