The normal timeframe for completing Waldorf's bachelor's degree program is four years. For an associates degree in Liberal Arts, the timeframe is two years. Our on-time graduation rate is based on program completion within those timeframes. Students may choose to take fewer courses per term, extending their timeframe for completing the program.
Calculated by averaging the textbook costs and course fees for all the bachelor's degree programs. Program costs are calculated by taking this year’s tuition, fees and room and room& board charges, and multiplying them by the years expected to complete the program. Textbook costs and course fee calculations are based upon the recommended curriculum listed in the course catalog, using the 2010-11 rates for used textbooks and course fees. For majors with multiple tracks, the specific tracks or endorsements used for the calculation are indicated. Textbook costs and course fees will vary with the selection of alternate tracks, endorsements, or course electives. Transportation and personal expenses have been estimated by the Iowa College Student Aid Commission.
In addition to grants and scholarship aid for which they are eligible, some graduates use loans to finance their education. The median debt for Waldorf graduates, separated by program for each of the last four academic years, is listed in the table below.
