Transformative Education at a Great Value
University lowers published tuition price

In 2017, Detroit Mercy made a bold move and reset our published tuition price. The Assure Your Boundless Future Tuition Reset provides students and families a more precise and real cost to attend Detroit Mercy. By reducing tuition to around $28,000, the University is in a stronger position to attract more academically talented students and their families who were previously deterred by the high tuition cost and never seriously considered the University as a possibility.
