Tuition and Fees
There can be a big difference between the total cost of a college education and what you actually end up paying. Adding up tuition, fees, and books can be overwhelming, but with the right mix of financial aid, merit scholarships, and payment plans you can reduce your total cost to a workable number.
The total cost of a Drexel at BCC education varies based on your course of study. Depending on your major, it will take two to three years of full-time study in the Drexel at BCC program to earn your degree, as some majors offer one or more co-op experiences. Drexel Co-op allows students to alternate periods of classroom study with periods of full-time professional experience. For more details, visit our Academic Overview.

Payment Plans
Installment Payment Plan
Drexel students are billed for the entire year at the start of the fall term. The billing process gives families the flexibility of paying the bill in full or in installments. Since the remaining balance can be a significant expense even with a financial aid package, Drexel offers an installment payment plan. Through Drexel's agreement with Higher Education Services (HES), families can arrange interest-free payments according to their schedules.
For more information about this payment plan, visit Student Financial Services.
Employer Assisted Tuition Deferred Payment Plan
Drexel offers a deferred payment plan for students attending the University as part of an employer education assistance program. Under this plan you can defer paying the portion of your tuition that is reimbursable under your employer’s program until the end of the second week of classes of the following quarter or semester.
