Tuition and Fees

Don’t let the ‘sticker price’ get you! Nearly 100% of EMU students receive financial aid, – about $9 million in aid goes to students like you each year! Parents of current EMUers say the cost of an EMU education – which is priceless – is comparable in the end to that at large public colleges.
