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
The University of Detroit Mercy offers a great education but has a high tuition, about $15,000 per term for full time students. However, they offer generous scholarships that make it very affordable. A chart of some scholarships offered can be found at: http://www.udmercy.edu/apply/financial_aid/scholarships/pdf/Scholarships_and_Financial_Aid.pdf
I think that the small classes and experienced teachers really make UDM worth its price, especially considering how much of one's tuition can be covered by scholarships. At UDM, freshman are often taught by very experienced teachers, where at larger schools freshman may only see brand new teachers or a teaching assistant.

U of D-Mercy has a very high tuition, but I believe that paying the tuition is worth it. As an Architecture major, going into the world graduating with an accredited Master's degree in five years; I definitely wouldn't mind paying the tuition. I suppose it depends on what you're majoring/ minoring in. But I believe that I can speak on the behalf of every college and school at U of D in saying that paying the tuition and graduating from here it's definitely something I would recommend doing...!
Kevin from Highland Park, MI
This School is rather expensive school however the classes are so not very big so the Professors get to know you one on one. You develop strong relationships with them, and they are always there to help you. They want their students to be well educated so they make the program difficult but they do their best to help the students succeed both in and out of class. The comfort and the relationships that you get to have with the professors is amazing they get to know you on a personal level and I enjoy that.
