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.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

The school is a bit pricey: $31, 250 per year, minus room and board. The bang for the buck though, is there. The learning is amazing and wide, the opportunities are endless, and the teachers and students are engaging, intelligent, personable individuals. Financial aid and scholarhsips and student loans are varied and many, though.
The food in the Blue-and-Gray Cafe (Moravian's small cafe) doesn't have the best food, but the larger cafeteria does. There are many clubs and activities and sports to join. If you want, you could start your own club if Moravian doesn't have what you want.

I definitely believe that Moravian College is a bang for the buck. I can see myself enjoying my college career here, and I would not trade it in for another. I believe the education, environment, and achievement is well acquired.
Monica from East Stoudsburg, PA
I'd say it's worth the money since I really like it here. If you want a large campus and city life Moravian isn't for you. But if you want a small college where everyone basically knows who you are and to not be treated like a number in the classroom Moravian is perfect for you!

moravian is well connected to top lv employers. when an employer learns that you are a moravian graduate, you've got a better chance at securing the job!

even though moravian is expensive, it is also a private school so you are paying for a better education. moco will make you a well rounded student and you pay for ways to better the school. you also don't have to pay for things like sporting events, or gym memberships like at most state schools.

Bernie-Willie freshman dorm leave something to be desired. tiny and really hot through most of september. Other than that, the school really tries to keep up with the desires of the students.
Valerie from Lindenhurst, NY
Moravian is what you make of it, so get involved in extracurriculars and do as much as you can with your time there. The cost is a little steep, but Moravian's financial aid department is very good with helping out and offering grants to students in need.
