Tuition and Fees: Tuition Freeze for Seventh Year

For the 2024-2025 academic year, Peirce is proud to announce that there will be no increase in tuition rate for a seventh consecutive year.

Peirce College is committed to making college tuition more accessible and affordable. Students can earn credits at no cost through our partnership with Coursera, which includes professional certificates by Google, IBM and Meta. Also, Peirce is offering special, limited-time tuition of $9,900 for our master’s degrees in Professional Studies and Higher Education Leadership.

Students enrolling through the Union Education Benefit – EDUTrust have access to special discounted tuition. Learn more.

Students enrolling through a partnership agreement also have access to special discounted tuition. See if you qualify.

Financial aid, scholarships and grants are also available to help you finance your degree. Check out our financial aid section to see how we can assist you.

Additionally, Peirce continues to be one of the best value private colleges in the state of Pennsylvania. In fact, AICUP recently highlighted that Peirce College has the lowest tuition rate among peer private schools in the state! As a student-centric, non-profit institution, your tuition dollars are always reinvested back into the College for advancements in increased flexibility, innovative programs, and personalized guidance and support.
