Choose Your Start Date

You can start your studies three times a year: January, May or August. Some programs also offer a March, June and October start.

Qualify for Affordable Rates

You'll receive a quality education from SLU at a reduced rate. Plus, military, veterans and first responders take classes at a reduced rate of only $295 per credit hour — and international students can benefit from flat-rate tuition.
