For over 120 years, Goldey-Beacom College has taken pride in offering students an affordable, private education.  Compare our costs to those of other private four-year colleges and you will see why Goldey-Beacom College stands out - current tuition and fees are approximately a third less than the national average of other four-year private colleges! 
 

It is the goal of the College to make education affordable. The College offers a wide variety of academic and merit scholarships, and generous financial aid is available.  Our staff will assist you in applying for all federal, State, or institutional aid for which you might qualify.  We understand how intimidating forms can be, and our financial aid staff will ease you through this process. Over 65% of our students receive some sort of financial aid to complete their education. 

Many employers offer very generous tuition reimbursement plans, paying a significant portion of an employee’s tuition bill for successfully completed coursework. The College also offers convenient payment plans that may also help budget your tuition payments.

A $150 acceptance deposit is required when the domestic student is officially accepted into a program of study at Goldey-Beacom College.
