The Catholic University of America offers a reduced tuition rate for students taking courses provided by the School of Professional Studies (SPS) and the Busch School M.S.M. program. Students taking courses outside SPS and the Busch School M.S.M. are charged the regular tuition rates of the school offering the course. The university also maintains a financial aid program for students who demonstrate need. For more information on financial aid, please visit the Website for Catholic University's Office of Financial Aid.

For access to information about private source SPS scholarships, Community College graduate scholarships, and additional sources of funding assistance, visit our page on Financial Assistance Resources.

The fees listed below are those in effect for the current academic year at the time of publication. All fees, including those for tuition, board, and room, are subject to change. The information below is provided for convenience only; the most current figures may be found on the Web site of the Office of Enrollment Services at http://enrollmentservices.cua.edu/.

Students are considered officially enrolled and responsible for any associated financial obligations once they have completed course registration via Cardinal Station. Billing statements are issued online through the CardinalPAY e-commerce system; no paper bills are issued.  For more information on CardinalPAY, please visit http://enrollmentservices.cua.edu/Student-Financial-Information/CardinalPAY.cfm. Satisfactory payment includes paying the total charges, being current with payments on the tuition payment plan, and/or completing all financial aid forms, and waiting for accepted financial aid to be credited. Incomplete financial aid awards are considered to be late payments. Additional charges will be assessed to the student's account for checks returned by the bank for insufficient funds or stop payments. All charges due to the university must be paid in full by the payment due date published each semester. For more information on payment due dates, please visit http://enrollmentservices.cua.edu/Student-Financial-Information/CardinalPAY.cfm. Students who do not honor the financial arrangements agreed upon will not be permitted to register the following semester unless payment is made or new arrangements are negotiated.
