College can be more affordable than you think.
If you’re wondering why a high-quality campus education has to be so expensive, you’re not alone. We’ve been thinking about it, too. And here’s what we discovered: It doesn’t have to be.
SNHU campus tuition is now just $15,000/year. And, for select programs, just $10,000/year. With 80+ career-focused majors, state-of-the-art facilities, D2 sports, and over 70 student clubs and organizations, you can get the campus experience you want at a more affordable price.
Here's how we can help you lower your cost even more:
1. Apply for financial aid.
Fill out the FAFSA - the application for federal student aid - to see if you're eligible for additional financial assistance that can help offset your immediate costs.
2. Estimate your costs.
Use the Net Price Calculator to calculate what's left to pay after adding up your grants, loans and other assistance.
3. Connect with a Student Financial Services counselor.
Once you and your family determine your net cost, work directly with a specialist to bridge the gap and navigate the payment process.
Understanding how to pay for your education can help you reduce your costs - now, and in the future. Call, email or visit with us, and we'll help you make the process as simple as possible.
Whether you want to earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree, our Manchester campus aims to keep tuition and related costs low for our students so you can position yourself well academically—and financially—for the future you want.

Aviation Operations and Management Program Fees
The cost breakdown below is specific to the Aviation Operations and Management program.
Students with no prior flight experience can expect to enroll in four terms of campus undergraduate study and nine courses of online study, followed by the option of either an additional two terms of campus study or ten courses of online study (or a combination of the two). The difference in cost can be estimated using the per term/per course breakdown below.
