We believe that the educational experience here will be integral to our students’ success and happiness, and that they will value the investment in their education increasingly as they live lives based on the Franciscan values of individual dignity, community inclusiveness and service to others.
As with any investment, an investment in one’s future has cost. We seek to manage our resources and to make this education as affordable as possible to as many people as possible, and we are pleased to be among the U.S. News and World Report’s best college values in the Northeast.
Students and parents should be aware of the many opportunities for financial aid, and of the various alternative financing plans that the University offers to assist families with the cost of a superior education in the Catholic, Franciscan tradition.
