Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

In-State Tuition In-state tuition is the tuition charged by institutions to those students who meet the state's or institution's residency requirements. In-district tuition is the tuition charged by the institution to those students residing in the locality in which they attend school and may be a lower rate than in-state tuition if offered by the institution.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

Considering this is a private school there is a lot of bang for the buck. A lot of stuff is covered by the school and made reasonable for the students. A lot of activities are brought to campus and as a member of the Campus Activities Board we try to bring the best entertainment for our students. I have hardly been here for a full school year yet, but I know that I have so much more to look forward to than what I have already experienced and it has already been amazing.
Heather from South St Paul, MN
While the University is expensive, it is worth the cost. There are many employment opportunities on campus, which students can use to get valuable work experience. Also, students get a solid education within the walls of the school, regardless of major.
Christian from Berwyn, IL
I was surprised at how much tuition and all the fees include. For example, all campus activities are free to students and they offer a lot of great programs to help students achieve greatness. The price may surprise you but in the end it is worth it.
