A comprehensive financial aid package is available, including institutional scholarships to most students. The annual tuition and fees are among the lowest of any private university in the Midwest.

The East Building faces Michigan Avenue and extends to the West Building on Wabash Avenue. Our facilities accommodate 4 computer labs, an auditorium, cafeteria, student lounge, bookstore, library, electronics lab and several administrative offices.
