Financial aid, scholarships put a degree within reach
A college degree is within reach.
Undergraduate tuition for students taking classes on our traditional campus is less than the national average for four-year, private schools. For graduate and undergraduate students taking courses online or at a venue nationwide, including our evening program, we offer Truition®.
Scholarships, loans and other financial aid options may be available to help you pay for college.
