Tuition & Costs
A clearer, more transparent price
At Carroll College, we believe an exceptional education should be defined by its lifelong value—not by the complexity of its price.
Beginning in fall 2027, Carroll is lowering its published tuition by 40%. We’re committed to expanding access to a Catholic liberal arts education that transforms lives.
