This allows us to provide a quality education at a fraction of the cost of most private or research institutions. While we all know that college tuition is expensive, there is one GREAT reason to start at VU first! Many students who start and finish a 2-year Associate's Degree at VU first, and then transfer to a 4-year college to finish their Bachelor's Degree, can save more than $20,000 in tuition!
