Tuition Discount: Canadian Students (Graduate School of Education & Human Services)
Canisius College is pleased to offer a 20 percent tuition discount to Canadian students with bachelors’ degrees pursuing teacher certification or other graduate degrees at Canisius. Current rates are effective May 14, 2008 through May 9, 2009. For students in the Childhood and Adolescence Education programs, the tuition rate is guaranteed for two years from the term of entry.
Graduate tuition (Summer 2008-Spring 2009) in the School of Education and Human Services is $667 per credit hour. With the tuition discount, the tuition for Canadian students is $533.6 per credit hour.
The following is an example of how the discount may be applied in the teaching program for a student with a 4-year honors degree:
