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.

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

I have had several schools tell me that they can give me just as good of an education as the University of Phoenix, but for a lot less money, and I always reply with: I am happy where I am, I like everything and everyone at the University of Phoenix, and I do not plan to change schools. Thank you and have a good day!
Sandy from Argyle, WI
This school might be expensive for some people, but it is definitely worth what you are paying for. I have learned so much from all of my classes, even my electives, and I continue to learn new material everyday. I like that the instructors always find a way to make the material interesting so you aren't just reading a textbook everyday and eventually becoming bored with it. You are always learning something and you may even pick up a few friends across the country along the way! I have became friends with a few people who were in my previous classes and we still talk to this day and help each other out with editing papers or help with any assignments if we share the same major. Everyone is always friendly and helpful.
Amelia from Portland, OR
The expense is not really so awful, with so many options out here to take advantage of it makes debt seem merely impossible.If you talk to your financial advisors they are willing to assist you threw the complete process.They were almost like my best friends,all they would need is a Facebook page.
paquita from Urbanna, VA
It may seem quite expenssive to go here for the average student but I have to say it is well worth the money! The amount of effort you put into your classes will determine your success and this school does a great job at giving its students every opportunity to succeed!
Brittany from Las Vegas, NV
I think I am getting a quality education. I do wish, though, that for what I am paying, that they would also have recorded online lectures to help hit a lot of the information home that we read in our texts. That is my only complaint.
Tammi from Savannah, TN
Decent Pricing.
Kirsten from Eustis, FL
It is expensive. The advantage of University of Phoenix online is that you can work full-time and do other things that you could not do if you were going to a brick and mortar college.

I think that the classes should be less expensive because teachers and students are using there own space and utilities that brick and mortar colleges would normally have to pay for.

The cost is probably my least favorite thing about the school, especially since even thought it is accredited some people still do not see online schools as equal to brick and mortar.
Chris from California
The tuition is not really too much for student. However, we should be serious and responsible while dealing with the loan and financial aid programs. We have right to make our decision, because the future is in our hands, so think twice before making any action.
Phat from Midway, CA
It is always best to apply for any type grants or low-cost loans to assist getting yourself through the educational process, and the costs thus far, have been manageable, although I would love to have a free-ride.
Susan from Humble, TX
I feel like I am getting the highest quality education I can.
