Costs & Financial Aid

Overview

Because of our dedication to delivering a quality education, Drexel offers its graduate degree seekers in Sacramento the same educational advantages students receive on its East Coast campus, including:

  • A committed focus on preparing students for leadership roles
  • A team-based educational approach
  • An education that combines academic learning with professional experience
  • Blended formats, combining face-to-face learning and independent online study for maximum flexibility
  • Recognized faculty expertise with the same faculty who teach in Philadelphia
  • Student-centered philosophy — personal attention, small classes, outstanding customer service

Tuition and Fees

Set annually by the University's Board of Trustees, Drexel tuition and fee rates are the same at all of our locations, although individual locations may offer special grant or scholarship opportunities. Please visit the academic program in which you are interested to learn about the specific tuition and fees associated with the degree of your choice.

General fees reflect part-time rates. A student taking 9 or more credits in a single term will incur an increased full-time student fee.

2009–10 Tuition Credit-Hour Average Cost
Rate Per Class
Nursing programs $705 $2,115
Master of Public Health $1050 $3,150
All other programs $915 $2,745

Financial Aid

Drexel understands that applicants may face challenges in financing their graduate education. We want to help you through this process because we don't want financing to be a barrier to enrolling. The University has assembled a number of awards, loan options, and additional financing options to help its graduate students overcome financial hurdles and spend their time where they should — on their coursework.

That's why we consider every applicant for our $10 million Sacramento Leadership Fellowship, which offers variable financing amounts up to full tuition for exceptional candidates.
