Tuition Discount

Grand View is pleased to offer a discount to our Grand View University alumni to continue lifelong learning at Grand View. Alumni are defined as individuals who have earned an undergraduate or graduate degree from Grand View University. This offer includes a 15% discount for alumni, enrolling in a graduate degree, second bachelor degree, endorsement, certificate or post-baccalaureate certificate, OR up to 12 credit hours as a non-degree seeking student. Because alumni graduating in December 2019, April 2020 or August 2020 are facing one of the worst job markets in history, they will be eligible for a 25% discount as long as they begin their studies by January 15, 2021.

Discounts are not in addition to employee tuition waivers or student scholarships (graduate or undergraduate). Students will be awarded the greater of the alumni discount or employee tuition waiver/student scholarship as applicable.

In addition to graduate programs, career enhancing undergraduate courses in programming, data analytics, Spanish and others would be an outstanding opportunity to grow skillsets. Pre-professional graduate program perquisites required for entry to medical, dental, physical therapy, and chiropractic schools are also offered. For more information, contact Patty Williams at pwilliams @ grandview.edu

*The discount offer excludes the Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling degree and certificate program.
