• How much does it cost?

  Your education is an investment in yourself: in your future earnings, sure, but also in the opportunity to live the life you want. As Minnesota’s oldest university—founded in 1854—employers know the Hamline name and reputation for excellence. They recognize that our practical, skills-based programs prepare you to lead from day one. And you'll have peace of mind in knowing that you've chosen an institution consistently ranked as a "best value regional university" by U.S. News & World Report.

  As an Online Degree Completion (ODC) student, you’ll benefit from Hamline's sterling reputation and quality instruction, but at a reduced per-credit rate — and without the on-campus student fees — offered to our traditional undergraduate students.

  Because tuition rates vary depending on your chosen major (with specialized pricing available for our education program for paraprofessionals), please explore our tuition rates and funding options at the pages linked below.

• How long will it take?

  While the time it takes to finish your degree depends on the number of credits you transfer in and the pace you choose to go, most students taking two classes at a time will earn their bachelor's degree in approximately 18 months. Expect to spend around 10-12 hours per week on readings, lectures, and posting in discussion groups.

• What kind of support will I have?

  From your very first admissions question, through the credit transfer process, and all the way to graduation day—you won't have to navigate your journey alone.

  Our community of support includes:

  • A dedicated advisor: You’ll be paired with an Online Navigator who serves as your primary contact throughout your entire time at Hamline. They'll be there to answer your questions, guide you through university processes, and ensure you stay on track to graduate.

  • Small, personalized classes: Our ODC classes are intentionally small. You'll learn from professors who know your name and collaborate with classmates in discussions and group projects.
