Madonna University

Overview of Madonna University

---

Madonna University is a private, not-for-profit institution, located in a small city. While the school is located in Livonia, there are enough small towns conveniently located nearby that you should be able to find a place where you’ll enjoy relaxing off-campus every so often. The student population is equally small with only just under 3,000 all together and 500 are graduate students.

Despite it being a small college, you’ll be able to accumulate college credits via dual credits, credit for life experiences, and advanced placement (AP) credits.

Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

When you pay for school, you don’t just pay for tuition. You also pay for books, supplies, room and board, and other various fees. These, put all together, are your total cost. At Madonna University, on-campus students and their families pay $35,670, as of a recent academic year.

Luckily, many families don’t end up having to pay the full amount. There are plenty of options for financial aid at the federal, state, and even institutional level. After financial aid is applied, what is left of the total cost is the average net price. In a recent academic year, this was $17,444. Even better, depending on your parents’ income, you may pay still less. Families earning between $30,001 to $48,000 tend to pay around $16,625 and families earning between $75,001 and $110,000 pay around $20,848. As you can see, because the amount of financial aid available depends on your family’s income, what you end up paying after financial aid depends on that as well.

As a freshman, you are likely to qualify for financial aid. A total of 96% of a recent freshman class received an average amount of $14,003 in grants or scholarships. The same percentage of students received, on average, $11,284 in institutional grants and scholarships.

Going to college puts you into an environment that you may never have experienced before. At some point you’ll decide if you want to stay at Madonna University or transfer out. If you decide to stay, you’ll be part of the 76% retention rate. This high rate lets you know that most students appreciate their classes, professors, and the general culture of the school.

Unfortunately, the 4-year graduation rate is somewhat low at 37%. A longer graduation rate is becoming more common all across the country, but that’s still significantly below the national average for a 4-year graduation. However, the 6-year graduation rate is significantly higher at 70%, which is actually above the national average.

You may find that you can’t attend a class you signed up for in-person if you take on an internship or job. Do you drop the class and hope you’ll be able to get into a section a year or so from now? There are other options you can discuss with your advisor. Madonna University offers evening classes, so you could switch to a section you’re able to attend. Or you may be able to take advantage of distance education (online programs, as well as individual classes).

The most popular degree programs offered are business, management, marketing, and related support services; health professions and related programs; homeland security, law enforcement, firefighting, and related protective services; education; and family and consumer sciences/human sciences.
