Graduate Tuition
Talent, not money, opens the doors to Elmhurst University.
We work hard to keep our costs down, and we offer payment plans and financial assistance to help you afford your graduate education. We also offer provisions for tuition reimbursement and outside billing if your employer will be paying your tuition. For more information, please contact the Office of Student Financial Services.
Graduate costs are based on the program in which you are enrolled and by the number of semester hours required for your program. All students are assessed a $150 academic technology fee each term.
