Please remember that over 90% of our students receive aid which makes your out of pocket expenses very affordable.
GUARANTEED TUITION OPTION (GTO)
Students may choose to participate in the Guaranteed Tuition Option which locks in an hourly tuition rate for 4 years (8 semesters). Those entering in the 2010-11 school year would lock in at $674 per semester hour. This would make the 2010-11 semester cost $12,436 or $24,872 for the year – based on a 14 hours per semester. Initially, you would pay a little more but the tuition would lock in for 4 years.
You may opt out of the GTO at any time and pay the current hourly tuition rate. However, once you opt out, you may not return to your initial guaranteed amount.
FINANCIAL AID
ETBU awarded over $9 million in financial aid this year and over 90% of our students receive financial aid. This makes your out of pocket expense much lower than the above amount. ETBU strives to provide an affordable, quality education.
PAYMENT PLAN
ETBU offers a payment plan that allows the semester charges to be divided into equal payments. A $30 administration fee will be assessed to the student account when utilizing the payment plan.
