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
a little expensive, but your getting a high education. small classes make it so much easier. you get to know your staff. you are not a number, you get to know everyone.
juliette from New Britain, CT
When paying tuition for Sacred Heart, you are paying for much more than a simple education. Students do not have to pay extra money for tutors or helpful workshops on essay writing, math, time management, and many other subjects Tuition not only covers classes and academics, but it covers many activities. Using the gym, complete with basketball courts, wrestling room, tennis courts, and an outdoor running track is not an extra charge. Lectures by authors such as Sebastian Junger are free to students, and there are many free activities in which students get to take home T-shirts, water bottles, personalized banners, and fun photos.

You do get your money's worth at SHU. As a junior in the business program, you get free golf lessons and free tuition for the Ireland and Luxembourg study abroad programs.
