July 10, 2017, Washington, D.C. — In a move to make education significantly more accessible and affordable, University of the 探花精选(UOTP) is reducing domestic tuition costs by 55 percent for associate鈥檚 and bachelor鈥檚 degrees and 37 percent for master鈥檚 degrees and offering a no-interest payment plan to domestic students.
鈥淚t has long been in the hearts of our board, ownership, and faculty to reduce the burden of high tuition costs for our students,鈥� said Dr. Clinton Gardner, President of UOTP.
Beginning with UOTP鈥檚 September session, the total tuition for a domestic associate鈥檚 degree will be $14,400 and $28,800 for a bachelor鈥檚 degree. Tuition for master鈥檚 degrees will be $16,200. A student鈥檚 tuition rate will be locked in for the duration of the degree program.
鈥淓ven with the dramatic decrease in tuition, we do not anticipate having to raise our tuition for some time,鈥� Gardner said. 鈥淲ith our focus on delivering a solid education, we are finding ways to reduce costs in areas that have little to do with delivering a quality education to our students.鈥�
Part of what makes this significant reduction in tuition rates possible is offering all programs fully online or for students in the Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Maryland areas, in a once-a-week campus hybrid model. Gardner explained that online or once-a-week classes are both good choices for people wanting to further their education while managing work and family.
In addition to lowering tuition, the university will offer students a no-interest payment plan that allows students to pay $350 per month. Oksana Malysheva, CEO of Linden Education that owns UOTP, said universities must do a better job of not only controlling costs but helping students manage their educational debt.
鈥淚t鈥檚 concerning that most universities insist on raising their tuition every year or so,鈥� Malysheva said. 鈥淭hrough Potomac, we are taking steps to prove that a quality education can be delivered at a reasonable cost through efficient business practices.鈥�
