On-Campus Tuition
This tuition freeze stems from our belief in the importance of a quality, attainable education for all. While the cost per credits are listed below, the average traditional campus student in 2023-24 qualified for approximately $7,200 in GCU-funded scholarships each academic year, which reduced their annual tuition cost to approximately $9,200.1 Speak with your university counselor for more information about estimating the costs of attending GCU.
