Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
I went to the University of Northern Iowa which costs like $15,000 a year. Currently, Clarke costs about $23,000 per year if you live off-campus, but with all of the scholarships they give, it is actually costing me a lot less than the University of Northern Iowa and I don't even qualify for financial aid. All the scholarships they gave me were solely academic.
Rach
The food and the dorms are terrific, there is a great athletic center, and the campus itself is just beautiful.
Kateri from Wisconsin
If you don't have a car, and even if you do, the Jule is a great option. It is a free transportation system for Clarke students that will take you to many different places around Dubuque.
Allison from Dubuque, IA
The school is pretty expensive but they do find a way to get you there. The scholarships they offer are wonderful. I have been learning a lot so it is totally worth it!
Samantha from Dubuque, IA
Clarke isn't the most inexpensive college out there, but financial advisers are ready and willing to help with any needs.
Traci from OREGON, IL
Clarke really tries to help you with tuition and scholarships. They believe you should spend the least you have to for a great education. Clarke has a great financial aid program.
