The cost of tuition and fees is reviewed and may increase each year as determined by the Board of Trustees. The University will post tuition and fee rates for the upcoming academic year each spring; additionally, if you apply for financial aid, the University will provide you an estimate of your cost of attendance for the second year via DrexelOne.
Online Programs
The costs for online students depend upon the number of credits they register for each academic quarter. While some programs have predetermined enrollment, other programs allow students to decide how many credits they register for and how many quarters each year they enroll in. Since tuition and fees are based on the student's enrollment, Drexel will provide estimated cost of attendance based on the program schedule.
Tuition and fee rates are listed on the Drexel Online General Tuition Rates page.
Your specific cost of attendance breakdown can be viewed via your DrexelOne account.
