Making an Informed Choice

As you consider your next steps in education, Azusa Pacific University is committed to helping you make an informed choice regarding which school to attend. Toward that end, below are a variety of resources that can assist you with key information.

• College Scorecard – The U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard compiles reliable data on college costs, graduation, and salary after attending.

• College Navigator – This free consumer tool provides information for students about colleges and universities (including Azusa Pacific University) such as: cohort default rates, average borrowing rates, and comparisons to national averages.

• Paying for College – The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau provides help in making informed financial decisions about how to pay for college.

• TA Decide – This dynamic information and comparison tool is designed specifically to aid participants of DoD's Tuition Assistance (TA) program in making informed choices on schools and education programs.

• Cost of Books – APU does not include the cost of books in tuition. As such, prices may vary depending on program and coursework. A good rule of thumb though would be to spend no less than $1752 per academic year on books.
