Understanding Tuition Fees at Shippensburg

Hello guys, I'm considering Shippensburg University and I'm hoping for some info. Do you know how much the tuition fees are for undergraduate students? I've heard it's quite affordable. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm glad you're interested in Shippensburg University. As for the tuition cost, the exact amount varies based on a number of factors including your residential status. Generally, for the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition for in-state students is around $12,000 per year. However, for out-of-state students, it's approximately $15,000 per year. These amounts include tuition and fees but do not include expenses such as room and board, books, and personal expenses.

Keep in mind that these are the sticker prices for tuition and fees. Many students do not actually pay this full amount because they qualify for financial aid or scholarships offered by the university or outside entities. Use Shippensburg's net price calculator for a more accurate estimate of your potential costs after considering financial aid and scholarships. As with most colleges, tuition and fees can change each year, so it's always best to double-check the latest information directly from the university's website or by contacting their admissions or financial aid office.

You're right that compared to many other universities, Shippensburg is quite affordable, especially for in-state students. Remember, though, to consider not just the cost but also the fit and the academic programs when choosing a college. Best of luck as you continue your college search!
