Ph.D Education from Illinois Institute Of Technology [IIT CHICAGO], Chicago - Fees & Admission Details 2025

It is a tough but very interesting course. The course content is extensive and in depth. Course subjects were helpful to understand and implement design theories and technological techniques to the design.

Since it is a private institution, the fees are considerably higher. Around 1500$ approximately per credit. The fee is paid every semester and also attached are university transportation pass fees, college academic services fees as model shop fees. Since I am an architecture student, we had to use a lot of softwares like AutoCAD, Rhino, Revit, adobe photoshop, etc which are very expensive even for students. There is a small discount for students but it still is a lot. Also, architecture requires a lot of models to be constructed which require a lot of expensive materials.

I think that the course curriculum that was required for me to receive my mechanical engineering degrees was pretty much as expected. The various courses that I needed to take allowed me to see what all the different parts of mechanical engineering were.

The total cost for a year at IIT, which included tuition, housing, and other fees, was about $55,000 per year. There were other fees, such as parking, and lab fees that we had to pay as well, which were about $1,000 a year.

I am very happy with it. I think it focused very well on the core classes and allowed me the opportunity to engage in the real-life practice of robotics and building various projects. I knew there would be typical boring classes I had to get out of the way, so it was not a big deal
