More and more people are seeking Master’s Degrees to advance
their education and further their careers. However, with the cost of college
tuition continually increasing, many are finding this pursuit financially challenging.
In light of these developments, Peirce is proud of the fact
we’ve been able to keep tuition for our Master’s degree flat for the past 3
years.
It’s very unusual for any type of a program to hold tuition
flat for 3 years in a row, particularly in today’s higher education climate in
which we see regular tuition hikes from both public and private institutions as
well as rising student loan debt levels.
In the midst of all of these developments, we’re in a pretty
fortunate position in that we’ve been able to keep tuition flat. We’ve been
able to do this by keeping our costs low, keeping operations very conservative,
and by using our resources very wisely. For example, our faculty members
perform a number of different roles such as course development, teaching, recruiting,
admissions, and advising. We’ve also
leveraged the College’s existing resources in order to provide support
structures for the Graduate program. These efficiencies create savings that
we’re able to pass on to students as a non-profit institution.
