We know cost is a major concern when choosing a degree. The good news is that the price you see listed for tuition is not what most students pay. Every undergraduate student admitted to an SBA program on the Berrien Springs campus automatically qualifies for the Andrews Partnership Scholarship (APS), which significantly lowers the cost of your education.
Note: The additional $2,000 APS award is granted for one qualifying category only. Students who receive the Andrews Partnership Scholarship are not eligible for the International Partnership Scholarship (IPS). APS applies exclusively to undergraduate programs offered on the Berrien Springs campus.
