2010 Study Finds McGhee Tuition Competitive With Peer Institutions

The spring 2010 competitive tuition study for adult undergraduate degree programs is underway and a cursory look at the numbers reveal that we are competitively priced among five other private nonprofit peer institutions (in NY, CT, and NJ) that charge more than $1,000 per credit.

• Fordham: $1,140 per credit
• Drew University: $1,165 per credit
• Sarah Lawrence College: $1,368 per credit
• Albertus Magnus: $1,137 (Spring 2010 per credit excluding fees)
• Columbia (CCS): $1,270 per credit
• NYU McGhee: $1,078 (Spring 2010 per credit excluding fees)

All five institutions offer adult undergraduate programs that closely match the degree programs offered by McGhee.

Among public four-year institutions, the lowest tuition is from Thomas Edison State College, a distance education only public nonprofit higher ed institution in New Jersey, charging $125 per credit for residents and $165 per credit for non-residents. This likely accounts for the school not having a physical campus. The highest tuition is also from a New Jersey public for profit institution, the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Tuition is currently at $378 per credit for residents and $788 for nonresidents.
