Excelsior University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Excelsior University?

Excelsior University students should budget by program, credit load, and remaining degree requirements rather than rely on a single residential-college annual price. For 2024-25, reported part-time tuition was $510 per undergraduate credit and $715 per graduate credit, with the same reported rates for in-state and out-of-state students.

• At the reported undergraduate rate, 24 credits would cost $12,240 in tuition before fees, books, and other expenses.
• At the reported graduate rate, 18 credits would cost $12,870 in tuition before additional charges.

Those examples illustrate credit-based tuition; they are not published annual cost-of-attendance estimates. A separate reported full-time tuition figure of $26,790 should not be added to the per-credit examples or treated as every student's bill. Books, technology, examinations, clinical requirements, and living expenses may change an individual budget.

Eligible students may be able to use federal grants and loans, applicable state assistance, institutional scholarships, or military and veteran education benefits. Federal aid generally requires the FAFSA and satisfaction of program and enrollment eligibility rules. In the 2024-25 reporting, the average undergraduate grant award was $3,085 and 34% of students received student loans; neither figure predicts an individual award. Compare a program-specific cost estimate with a personal financial aid offer before deciding what you would pay.

What are the work-study opportunities at Excelsior University?

Excelsior University offers career-development support, but students should distinguish that support from a paid job or a job-placement guarantee. Reported services include individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, career-interest assessment, interview workshops, and access to a job bank.

Federal Work-Study, when available to an eligible student, is a form of need-based aid earned through an approved job; it is not a grant paid simply for enrolling. An ordinary part-time job or internship operates under different hiring and pay arrangements. Students who need employment income should ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study is in their aid offer and how approved positions are found, while using career services for broader job-search preparation.
