Tuition and Financial Aid

Tuition

Tuition excludes the cost of textbooks and materials, which vary by course. *Tuition amounts are subject to change without notice. Calculations shown are based on the most recent tuition costs per credit. Students may be required to complete up to three bridge courses (up to nine additional credit hours at $1,150 per credit hour).

Deposit

Admitted students are required to pay a $200 non-refundable deposit to secure their place in the program. The deposit will be applied toward tuition.

Financial Aid

Students enrolled in Pace Online programs may be eligible for Federal Direct Stafford Unsubsidized Loans and private education loans to cover tuition and other education-related costs. Students who apply for federal loans receive their financial aid award letters via mail within two to four weeks of FAFSA submission. Notification times for private education loans vary by lender.

*Online master’s degrees are significantly discounted compared to campus rates. Due to these lower tuition fees, the financial aid options are more limited.

Leave of Absence Impact on Financial Aid

Students on a leave of absence pursuant to the Leave of Absence Policy are considered to be withdrawn from the University for purposes of financial aid. Consequently, loan repayment obligations may be triggered. Students should speak to a representative of the Financial Aid Office for more detailed information about the status of their financial aid during a leave of absence prior to submitting a Leave of Absence Application.

Veteran Benefits

Eligible veteran students can receive tuition benefits offered by the GI Bill. For general information about Veterans benefits, please contact Peter Riley at priley@pace.edu or (212) 346-1115.
