Trends in Higher Education
Why Does College Tuition
Keep Rising?
Across the country, the cost of higher education has continued to increase for decades, often due to large campuses, athletics, and administrative overhead. These costs are typically passed on to students. At Unity, tuition has remained steady at $14,100 per year (and locked until 2030), far below the $28,000–$40,000 typical at other schools. With transparent pricing and financial guidance, you can graduate with less debt and more freedom to focus on your future.
Pay for what matters
How Unity Has Your Back
Have you ever planned a long backpacking trip and realized that every item you bring needs to have a purpose? At Unity, we design our programs the same way, allowing you to focus on the essentials that help you succeed while letting you choose the extras you want. That means you only pay for what matters, keeping your degree affordable without sacrificing quality or support.
Affordable by Design
- Only pay for what you take. Choose your courses each term, pay as you go, and finish with a one-time $100 graduation fee.
- Skip the extras you don’t need. No charges for housing, meal plans, or campus activity fees that don’t apply to online students.
- Save where it matters most. Cut commuting, childcare, and relocation costs while continuing your full-time job.
Advantages Beyond Coursework
- Free course materials. Most courses include digital text, with fewer than half requiring textbook purchases.
- Lab software and kits included. Receive all necessary software and mailed chemistry lab kits at no extra cost.
- Support every step of the way. Academic advising, 24/7 online tutoring, and unlimited health & wellness resources are included.
The result: a high-quality degree that’s affordable, accessible, supportive, and built around the real needs of working adults, military learners, and transfer students.
