Tuition and Aid
Building Value For the Future and Beyond
At Â鶹ӰԺ University, our goal is to provide you with an education of value, both in and out of the classroom. We also understand that paying for a college education is daunting. Our commitment to value goes a step further by making sure students understand all the options available to them. In doing so, we hope to show that the cost of tuition need not prevent them from getting an education.

Financial Literacy
By making clear our tuition, fees and other costs, we provide students with the financial literacy they need to understand how the cost of a college education may impact their future financial standing. Because of this commitment to understanding the full value of their education, our graduates have less debt and financial burden compared to their peers. This is a benefit that will set them up for the future and beyond, outside of Â鶹ӰԺ University.
