What can make it affordable

A tuition-free, 100% online university accredited by WSCUC (the WASC Senior College and University Commission, recognised by the US Department of Education). Donor-funded scholarships, awarded first come first served, can cover the remaining fees.

Associate's, bachelor's and master's degrees in fields including Business Administration, Computer Science, Health Science, Education and IT, studied online alongside work or family. UoPeople was previously accredited by DEAC and voluntarily ended that relationship on 31 December 2025.

Sticker price

No tuition. A one-time $60 application fee plus an assessment fee per course: $180 per undergraduate course (UoPeople estimates about $7,260 for a whole Business Administration bachelor's) and $430–$490 per graduate course (about $5,650–$5,940 for a whole master's).

Online only — it won't get you a student visa or the experience of studying abroad, and how online US degrees are recognised varies by country and employer, so check with your education ministry or target employer. Fees are from UoPeople's own programme pages and can change.
