Tuition fees for UI/UX design courses in the US vary by institution and program level:

- Master's: Around $33,400/year (example: Academy of Art University MFA in Interaction and UI/UX Design)
- Bachelor's: About $28,000/year (example: Academy of Art University BFA)
- Certificate programs: $3,500 - $5,500 total (examples: Noble Desktop, Otis College)
- Online bootcamps: Around $11,900 total (example: Entity Academy)

For stay-back, international students on an F-1 visa can typically work for 12 months after graduation under Optional Practical Training (OPT). STEM-designated programs may allow up to 36 months, but most UI/UX courses are not STEM-classified, so the standard 12 months applies.

Tuition fees and work options are subject to change.
