Bellevue Tuition Cost & Financial Aid


Cost is a huge concern for most students these days. Since Bellevue is a private institution, it might be assumed that their costs are out of reach for most students. However, the opposite is true. In fact, on-campus students face a total gross price of only $21,000. Off-campus students are estimated to pay $26,000 for all of their expenses. However, once financial aid is factored in, costs are even lower.

The average net price for a year at Bellevue, which is the total cost for students after financial aid has been fully applied, is only $13,000. Lower income students pay around this price while higher income households see total net costs of only around $18,000. This represents a tremendous value in higher education.

Academics


The primary reason students go to college is to study the subjects they love with the long-term goal of applying their knowledge in the workforce. If educational statistics are any measure, Bellevue University provides a top-tier education that fuels not only lifelong learning, but lifetime earning too.

One key measure of Bellevue's academic success is its retention rate. This number accounts for the number of first-time, full-time students who complete their first year at Bellevue and then return the following year. Their return indicates that they have found that the school meets their needs for academics and even social life. Since Bellevue students return at a rate of a whopping 78%, it's clear that students find the school worthy of their time and energy.

Though only 24% walk the stage for a diploma, another 33% are shown to have transferred out. Combined, this 57% can be assumed to complete a bachelor's degree somewhere. Most transfer students leave because they have needs that a larger school can meet. Thus, Bellevue's academics are shown to provide students with the tools and credentials they need to succeed here or elsewhere.

In fact, since Bellevue offers a full range of graduate and doctoral degrees, students can always return to campus for a professional master's degree. Most of their graduate and undergraduate degrees are also offered online.
