Projected Costs Between $119,529 and $291,492 For a Four Year Degree. Between $55,157 and $141,425 For a Two Year Degree.

Looking at the total projected cost of a college education over the course of two / four (or more) years can feel a little overwhelming. However, doing so will help better prepare you for the financial commitment you are making.

The overall cost for on-campus students to attend Dominican U in 2019 - 2020 was $47,541. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 3.0% each year. If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $50,446 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $55,140 for a bachelor degree candidate ($51,964 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $211,079 over the course of four years ($102,411 over the course of two years). These numbers do not take into consideration financial aid, which reduces this overall cost by varying amounts per student.

Remember, the full costs quoted above are not what most students will pay, and the net price varies quite a bit based on individual circumstances.
