College for Adults Tuition and Financial Aid

Start by transferring your previous college credits — then only take the courses you need! St. Kate’s requires 120 credits for a bachelor’s degree ($577 per credit) and 60–73 credits for an associate degree ($577 or $696 per credit, depending on program).

After you transfer, complete 48 or more credits at St. Kate's to earn your bachelor's, or 30 or more credits for your associate degree. Contact your admission counselor for a free evaluation of your transfer credits.

75% of our adult students receive some form of financial aid, including federal and state loans, grants and scholarships. To participate in most financial aid programs, you must be taking six credits or more each semester.

Many students receive tuition benefits from their employers. And, some College for Adults students who work at one of St. Kate's corporate partners are eligible for a special partner scholarship.

Benefits and programs available to students include the Chapter 33 Post-9/11 GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon Program, Minnesota GI Bill; Minnesota Military Service and Minnesota National Guard Education benefits, and more.
