Tuition Rates & The Shawnee State Advantage

The Shawnee Advantage:

1 = 2 = 3 = 4

Budget your tuition once.
Lock in your cost for 4 years!

We want you to be able to plan and budget for college expenses. That’s why we adopted a tuition guarantee program that locks in your tuition, room, meal plan, and general fees for four years.

As a first-time freshman, you can count on your tuition to stay the same for four years — and count on us to help you and your family plan for your future.
