Compare the Cost of College

Choosing a college is a significant decision and knowing what it will cost you to attend college can sometimes be a challenge.

For example, did you know that schools are only required to report their tuition and average room and meal plan costs in your financial aid offer? That means that your actual room costs and fees could be significantly higher than you are anticipating.

Houghton University is committed to transparent and accurate pricing.

That’s one reason why we recently reset tuition by 53%. Your financial aid offer will include all costs you will pay at Houghton. Any course-specific lab fees can be found on the Fee Schedule.

Remember Value

Your education is more than just a piece of paper, and the experience is worth more than the cost of tuition. As you make your decision, consider how institutions support you in your academics and beyond, what graduates and the employers of those alumni say about the college, and the opportunities you will have to get hands-on in your classes.
