CDU is committed to keeping tuition as low as possible, recognizing that many of our students are motivated by a desire to serve the Church.
CDU is a non-profit university and is not financially supported by the Church. Our tuition reflects the cost of providing high quality, accredited academic programs and is among the lowest of all Catholic universities.
Tuition may be paid with Master Card, Visa, Discover, American Express, debit cards bearing one of the previous credit card logos, check, or money order. CDU also offers the option for a default short-term payment plan to help make tuition payments manageable for students. The payment plan option is for three-credit online courses and allows tuition to be spread out and paid over the course of the term. There is a $30 processing fee and this option is not available for noncredit education courses. Payment Plan
