Dear Roosevelt Faculty and Staff,
The University leadership and Board of Trustees have announced new tuition rates for the 2023–2024 academic year. These rates are part of our overall Enrollment Growth Strategy, and just as importantly, will reinforce the University’s mission of social justice and the historical diversity of its undergraduate enrollment. We know that inflation and COVID are hurting families’ finances, and these new tuition rates may provide relief.
The Board of Trustees has approved tuition rates for fiscal year 2023–2024 as follows:
Non-CCPA full-time undergraduate
- $20,000. This is a 40% reduction of the 2022–2023 published tuition rate of $33,068 for this student population.
CCPA undergraduate and graduate
- $29,000. This is over 30% reduction of the 2022–2023 published price of $41,530 (undergraduate), and $42,321 (graduate).
Our goals have and always will be to create access to higher education, open gateways to the American Dream, and remove barriers to earning a degree. We are opening doors by recognizing students may have financial needs, and that affordability is a significant factor in their college consideration and eventual enrollment choice. We hope to inspire prospective new freshmen and transfer students, specifically, to include Roosevelt in their college selection process and to submit their application for Fall 2023—because it is affordable and attainable.
While the new tuition rates will not affect currently enrolled students’ pricing, the board has put in place a no-tuition increase for the 2023–2024 academic year. Additionally, any Roosevelt scholarships that students are currently receiving would remain in place for the duration of their current degree program as a full-time student. Of course, federal and state assistance can change based on a student’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. That being said, most current undergraduate students have received a favorable financial aid offer.
The Office of Financial Aid Services will be contacting students following the submission of their 2023–2024 FAFSA, and will work with them to ensure their degree path to graduation remains both equitable and affordable.
Roosevelt offers the benefits of a unique, transformational, private education experience in a world class city at a tuition rate comparable to public institutions. We will continue to find ways to support our commitment to Roosevelt’s founding mission, expanding inclusivity, diversity and access. It is the bedrock of our culture—and it is the right thing to do.
As always, please reach out if you have any questions. For tuition-specific questions, please refer to the FAQ or email fas@roosevelt.edu.
With Warm Regards,
Ali R. Malekzadeh, Ph.D.
