We’re taking tuition in a new direction! Now the region’s lowest tuition and fees of any private college
Afford Your Future Let’s face it—We know that tuition rates for the vast majority of colleges continue to rise year in and year out. You may have even thought that a private school education is simply out of reach. Think again.
We just cut our tuition by 40 percent, making us now the lowest-priced tuition of any private college in our region. With a tuition reset, we’re making college tuition truly more affordable for all students—students like you!
A future with a college degree offers more career options, better pay, and a greater chance for real work-life balance. Lower tuition equals fewer loans, and that means you don’t have to worry about your future.
