Tuition and Fees

Cornerstone University offers some of the most surprisingly affordable tuition rates in the nation for our on-campus traditional students as well as online undergraduate and graduate students.

All degree programs are eligible for school-specific scholarships, federal and state grants, and employer tuition reimbursement programs.

Paying for your college degree can seem overwhelming when you try to compare schools, programs and locations. Cornerstone admissions and financial services staff can work with you to help it all make sense.

Students receive different experiences and programs based on their chosen campus and learning preferences as well as how many transfer credits they bring in and how many courses they intend to take at a time.
