The Harrisburg University of Science and Technology Board of Trustees has recently approved updated undergraduate base tuition rates, effective for the 2025–2026 academic year. This adjustment applies only to undergraduate tuition. Graduate tuition and all Harrisburg University Online (HUO) program rates will remain unchanged.
Effective Fall 2025:
- Full-Time Undergraduate Tuition (12–17 credit hours per semester):
Will increase from $11,950 to $12,300 per semester. - University Services Fee:
A $250 fee per semester will apply each fall and spring. This replaces the previously titled Student Activity Fee.
Together, the new full-time undergraduate base cost will total $12,550 per semester.
- Part-Time Undergraduate Tuition (1–11 credit hours):
Will increase from $1,000 to $1,030 per credit hour.
This 3% tuition adjustment reflects the rising operational costs associated with delivering the high-quality academic experience, personalized support, and student services that define Harrisburg University. Inflation, increased costs of goods and services, and broader economic uncertainty have all contributed to the need for this change.
Even with this modest increase, Harrisburg University remains among the most affordable private universities in the region, offering exceptional academic programs with strong career outcomes. Our commitment to affordability remains steadfast, and we will continue to provide generous financial aid and institutional support to help students manage their educational investment.
