Tuition and Fees
All Ranken students enjoy a unique financial benefit. The college’s Endowment Fund and development efforts provide substantial support to the yearly cost of the school operation, which results in lower tuition and fees for Ranken students. This lower tuition rate can be readily verified by comparing Ranken’s tuition to that of similar private educational institutions. By providing lower tuition for all students, the college remains true to its emphasis on student success, quality education and graduate placement in jobs for which they are well-trained.
