Invest in Your Future

The graduate program tuition provides unfettered access to a team of highly engaged professors, rigorous course materials, like-minded classmates, and an environment that challenges you to broaden your horizons.

Tuition

Your tuition includes access to our proprietary virtual learning environment, which facilitates your participation in small, interactive classes designed to optimize your learning potential. You will also have access to Minerva's Coaching and Talent Development team, who you will collaborate with to develop your professional goals and expand your network.

Course Materials

Most course materials for the MDA and CDA are open source or available through the Minerva library databases. There may be occasions where you need to buy a book or access an article but those costs are minimal and expected to be under $100 for the entire program.

Loans

All graduate students who have not already received a Minerva University scholarship are eligible for a low-interest rate student loan. The loan can cover up to 50% of your tuition and has a 6.5% interest rate, an 8.14% APR, and a term of 60 months.
