Cost of Attendance

Students eating in the STAC

Value beyond the cost

The value of a Carroll College education will take you far beyond the 85 acres of our beautiful campus; it will shape you, guide your decisions, and it will make a difference in your life. . . for the rest of your life. Non scholae, sed vitae our motto, means Not for school, but for life.  College is an investment—in your potential, in your dreams, and in your future - and that investment has a value far beyond anything you can put a price on.

Our value beyond the cost

As you review the cost of attendance, it's important to keep in mind that Carroll awards generous financial aid packages to approximately 99% of our student body. Virtually every student you’ll encounter here is receiving some form of financial aid to help offset the tuition and fees.
