Four-Year Graduation Guarantee
Our four-year graduation rate already exceeds the national average which helps to keep your costs down and allows you to enter the job market sooner. If you meet the requirements and don’t graduate in four years, we will pay for the remaining credits—up to 16 in one year—needed to complete your degree.
Tuition and Costs
Choosing where you will continue your education is one of the most important decisions you will make – and tuition and costs are often large deciding factors. We are committed to provide an excellent education at a cost that is accessible and affordable to everyone.

When I decided to go back to earn my bachelor’s degree, Etown offered me the ability to work at my pace. The program was very accommodating and the instructors were flexible and understanding of my needs working full-time as a single mother.
