No college understands the need for affordability better than Utica University – which is why we boldly took the lead among New York’s private universities in 2016 to reset our tuition price by lowering it $14,000.

Affordability plus Quality plus Results equals Value

Now Utica University has the best private university price among all of our peer institutions in the Northeast – and that’s before the financial aid we award as scholarships and grants to bring down your cost even further.

But if you want the best university value, you have to look beyond cost alone. It also takes a personally relevant education and successful outcomes to ensure a great return on your educational investment. That's the Utica University advantage.

VALUE AND AFFORDABILITY

Utica University offers a customized education that is relevant to your own personal goals and to the needs of today’s job market. Utica offers:

  • Innovative Degree Programs that fill emerging marketplace niches
  • Expert Professors who are both accomplished scholars and practitioners in their fields
  • Practical blend of knowledge with skill building for career application
  • Advanced Training on the same equipment and technologies used in industry
  • Hands-On Experiential Learning via internships, applied research, and study abroad
  • Personalized Mentoring, career advising, and links to professional networks
  • Comprehensive Core Curriculum that expands perspective and versatility
  • Purposeful Development of communication, analytical, social, and quantitative skills

I don't have to worry about finding a job after I graduate. I have a great job waiting for me in Dallas, Texas. I can't thank Utica University enough for that.
