Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

New, first-year students can expect to pay $11,190 for tuition. This price is the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Another nearly $14,000 will be needed for rent, daily living expenses, class supplies, books, and more. Approximately 93% of students receive some form of financial aid to help make their higher education a reality. If a student wishes to go out to eat, spend time on entertainment and lifestyle activities in the city, or to take regional trips, they will require even more funds.

Park University also offers a Flat Fee Solution. This tuition payment program is for transfer students who come to Park from another college or university. These students are eligible to pay only $9,000 for one-year’s access to unlimited undergraduate courses online. This program allows students to work from home and save a significant amount of money.

Academics

---

Park students have access to over 70 degree programs and more than 650 online courses. The university works closely with both those transferring to the university and those who wish to transfer to another school after some time. All majors are available in a few colleges, including liberal arts and sciences, education, and health professions and management. A number of departments and schools are offered through the colleges to provide greater specialization opportunities such as nursing, business, public affairs, social work, sociology, and psychology.

Degrees and certificates are available in more than 80 areas. Students can also select from flexible course types, which include weekends and nights. All programs work to ensure program participants develop essential skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, independent and creative learning, and much more. It is even possible to participate in study abroad programs to complete an even more in-depth college experience.

The student-to-faculty ratio is 15 to 1 with a relatively low four-year graduation rate of 26%. The six-year rate of graduation is slightly better at 34%, but the retention rate is only 55%. These less-than-desirable figures may be related to the high number of students transferring both in and out of the university. It is also possible students work full-time as they follow their academic pursuits.
