The cost of attending traditional universities today averages more than $20,000 per year. A Bachelor’s degree can cost over $100,000; a Master's degree over $30,000; and a Doctoral degree an additional $50,000 or more. Spending so much money when you can complete a degree for much less just wouldn’t make any sense.
At CalSouthern, tuition and fees are affordable! We understand that you may work full-time, have children, and must fulfill other outside commitments. Thus, we designed our online degree programs with you in mind. A degree at CalSouthern costs less than half of what you would expect to pay. In addition, CalSouthern’s distance learning format saves you the time, hassle, and cost of commuting to a campus and sitting through long lectures.
We invite you to compare the total cost of a degree from CalSouthern with the cost for just one or two years at other universities. When making these comparisons, be sure to consider the following expenses:
- Tuition cost per credit
- Number of credits required for the degree
- Registration, technology, dissertation, and graduation fees
- Travel expenses such as commuting, gasoline, airline tickets, lodging, and parking costs for traditional universites, special sessions, and other residency requirements
Transfer Credits Save Time and Money
California Southern University (CalSouthern) accepts applicable transfer credits which can also save you money and time. The more credits you transfer into a degree with us, the less you end up taking and the faster you finish. For more details on program cost estimates, see our estimated cost of attendance page.
