Reduced Military Tuition Rates
CTU's degree programs are offered to Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard military personnel serving in the U.S. Armed Forces (and their eligible spouses) at a reduced military tuition rate. To be eligible, a candidate must be accepted for admission by the University, complete the required documentation and allow for verification of military status. The cost of books and course materials are considered part of the total program costs, but are waived* for students being charged the military tuition rate.
See Tuition and Fees Schedule*For all students eligible for the military tuition rate, the course materials charge will be posted to a student's account once each term, after the add drop period. The charge will then be waived, resulting in no net cost to the student.
