Understanding educational costs: A comparison

Radically affordable college is possible

At Newstate University, we've redesigned higher education pricing to make quality education accessible. We have the technology. We can rebuild it.

When evaluating higher education options, cost is a critical factor for working adults. Traditional and online universities structure their pricing in different ways, making it important to understand the various models. Newstate University combines competency-based education with a flat monthly tuition pricing model:

  • $300 flat monthly tuition ($3,600 annually, start, pause, or stop anytime)
  • No additional fees
  • Start any day of the year
  • Progress at your own pace, accelerate with credit for prior learning and credentials
  • No additional costs for course materials and resources
  • Built in career networking

We build Newstate University because it's time. Higher education should be relevant, valuable, and affordable. It should be human. It should be debt-free.

There are others in the space of adult education. Those other degrees are on average 4x the cost of a degree from Newstate University (compare to a yearly average tuition cost of $8,300 annually at Western Governors University1, and $10,260 at Southern New Hampshire University2).

Our university is different.
