Associate Degree, Certificate Cost, and Financial Aid

An affordable education made simple.

潑請弝けapp University continues to take steps to ensure that our education remains affordable and accessible to associate degree and certificate 潑請弝けapps, as well as non-traditional 潑請弝けapps. The Office of Graduate and Professional Admissions is committed to helping 潑請弝けapps navigate the admissions and financial aid processes, ensuring a straightforward approach to accessing their education.

Tuition for full-time (12-18 credits) non-traditional 潑請弝けapps (typically undergrad 潑請弝けapps ages 24 or older), as well as associate degree and certificate 潑請弝けapps, can be found below. In addition to tuition, these 潑請弝けapps pay a modest registration fee and, for applicable programs (see below), a program fee per semester. These 潑請弝けapps are also exempt from fees associated with specific courses (lab fees, art material fees, etc.).

The table below provides estimated costs for the 2023-2024 academic year for our standard academic programs, as well as an example of a financial aid award for a 潑請弝けapp with a $0 Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Tuition and fees are for standard programs; additional program fees, ranging from $500 to $1,000 per semester, apply to allied health, Nursing, and select baccalaureate programs. PHEAA State Grants are for Pennsylvania residents only.

Please note that costs vary from year to year, and costs listed are estimates only and are subject to change.泭

Total Potential Aid $8,615 $8,616 $15,926

Depending on financial aid eligibility, many 潑請弝けapps will be able to earn their degrees at no direct cost and may even receive a refund on 潑請弝けapp loans to help pay for books and other college costs. Students choosing to reside on campus will incur additional costs for room and board, depending on the 潑請弝けapps selected living and dining arrangements. When planning for college, you should also consider indirect costs for things like books, supplies, transportation, and personal expenses.

Value and Affordability

潑請弝けapp University offers low tuition rates plus opportunities for institutional aid for those with a demonstrated need, making our costs on par with most community colleges. In addition:

  • An admissions counselor works with 潑請弝けapps throughout the application and financial aid processes, helping them identify all available federal, state, and institutional aid, grants, and scholarships.
  • Nearly 100% of our 潑請弝けapps qualify for financial aid.
  • Our career-oriented certificate and associate degree programs will yield benefits to 潑請弝けapps throughout their lifetime, whether they choose to begin their career immediately after graduation or continue on for a four-year degree.
  • Many of our associate degree programs include convenient 2+2 options with our bachelors programs, allowing 潑請弝けapps to build on their education and earn a bachelors in two additional years.泭

Financial Aid and Scholarships

When considering financial aid, it is important to keep in mind each institutions sticker cost (tuition, plus room and board, if applicable) and actual cost (what the 潑請弝けapp ultimately pays, after factoring in financial aid, grants, scholarships, etc.). We are committed to helping 潑請弝けapps reach their academic goals without incurring significant financial burden. Non-traditional 潑請弝けapps and associate degree and certificate 潑請弝けapps eligible for this tuition rate may be eligible for an institutional McAuley Scholarship to help meet demonstrated financial need.

Both the Office of Admissions and the Office of Student Financial Services (SFS) are available to answer questions and discuss financial aid options. Our counselors can also explain financial aid offers and determine out-of-pocket amounts.
