In keeping with its mission of providing high-quality, affordable distance education to students worldwide, Dunlap-Stone University students are encouraged to take advantage of a variety of federal, state, and private aid programs. We are very sensitive to the rising costs of higher education and make every attempt to keep our quality education affordable. DSU’s cost-per-credit-hour ranks in the fortieth (40th) percentile nationally. (Sixty percent of U.S. colleges and universities have higher tuition rates than DSU.)
Tuition Increase Notice
Dunlap-Stone is committed to affordable educational opportunities for students and has not raised its tuition rate for undergraduate courses in over NINE YEARS. However, over that time operating costs have increased, and DSU’s Board of Directors voted April 15th to increase the undergraduate tuition rate from $330 per credit hour to $380 per credit hour. Accordingly, the cost of a 3 credit hour course will increase from $990 to $1140. Other undergrad courses will increase according to the new credit hour rate.
The increased tuition rate will take effect May 1, 2018.
Graduate tuition rates have not been changed.
Any class enrollments after April 30, 2018 will be assessed the $380 per credit hour rate.
