Affordability
CityU is committed to making college more affordable. We do this by keeping our tuition prices down. We want to help you attend college successfully and affordably. We have ample resources to support you with the financial costs of obtaining your degree. Some available resources include our our institutional scholarship page, the federal financial aid process, this discount eligibility form, or speaking directly to our financial advisor to discuss other options that are right for you. Potential students can also use the tuition estimator found below.
Tuition Estimator
This tool provides a cost estimate of each quarter’s tuition. Estimate your CityU tuition price in just a few clicks.
Please choose from the desired options in each box listed below.
The price of your “current quarter estimate” will automatically adjust based on the options you have selected.
*The estimator is meant to be used as a tool for prospective students but does not represent a final determination, or actual award, of financial assistance. Nor does the estimator consider scholarships, corporate, or military discounts that may be applied to reduce the cost of attendance. Please contact your advisor to review the costs of CityU’s Graduate Certificate in Executive Leadership Superintendent Certification, Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction, or Master of Education in Special Education.
