At a time when everything costs more, Drew will be the exception.

Drew is keeping undergraduate tuition at its current level for the 2027-28 academic year.

We know a college education is a significant investment. Amid inflation and economic uncertainty, financial predictability is all the more important. By holding tuition steady, Drew continues to be an institution students, parents, and families can count on.

Drew is consistently recognized for being one of the nation’s top value colleges whether the metrics used focus on affordability, return on investment, or outcomes. These are among the rankings for which we are most proud. Drew provides our students with a true return on investment—not just a college degree, but a roadmap to a successful personal and professional life after their time at Drew.

By holding tuition, required fees, double room, and silver meal plan for the 2027-28 academic year, we are doubling down on being a value for our students and their families. Tuition will stay put while you move forward.
