Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

As you consider the costs of the different colleges you’re interested in, you’ll have to consider the total price, beyond just tuition. This includes all of the costs related to attending school; tuition, books, supplies, room and board, and other charges like entertainment or gas for driving. At Canisius College, this cost can be as high as $31,928 (as of a recent academic year).

Once some of the cost has been taken care of by financial aid, some of it is still likely to remain. This is called the average net price. As of a recent school year, this amount was an average of $19,330. This isn’t too bad. Still, if your family doesn’t fall into a higher income bracket, that may be difficult to pay.

Luckily, those most eligible for greater financial aid are those who earn a lower income in general. This creates a variability in how much families end up paying, based on their income.

Freshmen students like you who apply for financial aid are well-represented at Canisius. About 465 students received an average of $19,632 in grants and scholarships and 461 students received about $16,039 in institutional grants and scholarships.

Academics

As you get used to your first year of college, you may question why you decided to earn a degree. That’s natural—you’re learning at a whole new level and it can be intimidating! The retention rate is the percentage of students who stay at the same college/university after their freshman year. At Canisius College, this is an excellent 85%, which usually means that freshmen students received the help they needed in their first year to feel like they were truly getting all the help they required.

The 4-year retention rate is 67% and two years later, it increases to 73%. This follows a national trend of college students taking an extra two years to earn great grades in their degree programs or to complete extra courses they need if they changed majors in the middle of their college years.

You may need to work during the day so you can make a car payment or cover other necessities, which often leads to working hours interfering with classes. Luckily, Canisius offers its students the opportunity to take evening classes or access their classes via distance (online) learning.

There are a variety of degree programs available at either the bachelor or master’s including: biological and biomedical sciences; business, management, marketing and related support services; communication, journalism and related programs; computer and information sciences and related programs; education (graduate level); English language; health professions and related programs (graduate level); homeland security, law enforcement, firefighting and related protective services; parks, recreation, leisure and fitness studies; physical sciences; psychology; public administration and social service professions (graduate); social sciences (graduate); and visual and performing arts (graduate).
