Tuition and Fees
Higher education can open doors to a variety of opportunities professionally — and in life.
As a college graduate, you stand to earn more over your lifetime than a typical high school graduate. Those with advanced degrees earn two to three times more. Invest in yourself at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, a private Catholic college in Indiana.
A private college education is more affordable than you think. SMWC is committed to helping you find resources to finance your education. Financial Aid is available. All part-time and full-time students are considered for institutional awards.
