Tuition & Fees

Students who choose Master’s are not just wanting to pay for a degree, but to invest into a true education. That’s why we strive to offer students a Christ-centered education within the financial reach of all, and endeavor to keep costs as low as possible. Consequently, our tuition is among the most economical for a private university.

• 98% of on-campus students receive financial assistance (2018-19)
• $7.2 million in institutional aid awarded annually

When calculating university costs, be sure to consider the total cost. Consider items like: books and supplies, transportation, and personal spending money. While these amounts vary with each student, it can raise the total cost of education above the published tuition and room and board amounts. Fortunately, when computing a student’s financial need, we take all these costs into consideration. The Master’s University is a leading university for affordability and graduation rates.
