The Professional & Graduate Studies

Why Should You Consider Earning a Degree?
By 2018, 63% of all US jobs will require education beyond high school. Yet, nearly half of the US workforce - about 88 million of 188 million adults aged 18 to 64 - has only a high school education or less (National Center for Education Statistics, nces.ed.gov).

Affordability
Earning a degree is one of the best personal investments someone can make. It carries with you for a lifetime providing positive social, cultural, financial, and intellectual rewards. Although investments are great, you are probably wondering how you're going to swing this financially. We are glad you asked. Cornerstone University Professional & Graduate Studies tuition rates are lower than many local state schools and mid-range for private faith-based institutions. We believe an affordable tuition rate is a key component in helping our students succeed. It’s simply one more way we can serve our students. Financial aid is awarded based on a student’s status. Enrolling in one of our accelerated degree programs automatically gives you a “full-time” student status. This means that you are eligible to apply for full financial aid assistance to cover the cost of your degree program. Once you apply for admission, we’ll team you up with a financial aid counselor to discuss all your options.
