Saint Mary’s College is taking action to make advanced education more affordable. As such, we have reduced the cost per credit hour for our Master of Social Work (MSW) by more than 20%. In addition, all students who enroll in a Saint Mary’s graduate program are guaranteed a renewable scholarship, which provides financial support beyond these tuition reductions.
To help students more accurately prepare their graduate school budgets, Saint Mary’s offers a cohort priced tuition and fees plan that locks tuition and program fees for the duration of the program. Tuition rates will not increase from year to year as long as the student remains enrolled in the program or takes an approved leave of absence. If students leave the program and later return, they will pay the new tuition and program fee rate of the new cohort they are joining.
Together, these investments reinforce Saint Mary’s commitment to affordability and prepare students for careers that make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
