Affordability

An Outstanding Education is Within Reach

As a Catholic, Marianist institution, we're committed to making a UD education affordable and accessible to all students.

That's why our innovative and transparent tuition plan is different from what you're likely to find at other schools. Here, the tuition you pay will stay the same all four years, and there are no fees. Our goal? To provide you peace of mind when it comes to cost.

To help you cover your costs, a variety of scholarships, grants, loans and part-time work study are available. The University also accepts transfer credits and credit by exam, which help reduce the number of credit hours you need to take to graduate.
