Below is the current list of tuition costs for 51ÂÒÂ×. We get it — those numbers can look intimidating. But don’t worry, that’s just the sticker price. The truth is, no student actually pays that amount. At Lakeland, no student pays more than $16,500 in tuition for the full academic year, and most pay far less thanks to scholarships, grants, and our Cooperative Education program.
Your education is meant to open doors, not close them — and we’ll work with you to make it affordable.
