The Catholic Polytechnic Promise of tuition-debt-free education is enabled by our commitment to keeping operational costs low. We achieve this through three main strategies: Delivering education online: Many traditional universities have significant overhead expenses in connection with the cost of purchasing or renting facilities, maintaining facilities, and providing campus security. By delivering education online, we reduce or eliminate these expenses. Anti-bloat staffing: Many traditional universities have chronic overstaffing problems which result in corporate bloat and high operational costs. At Catholic Polytechnic, we give most jobs to working adults, parents, and students who can only work part-time and only assign full-time status to roles when it becomes absolutely necessary. By keeping many of our employees on at this part-time basis, we reduce unnecessary payroll expenses. Partnering with corporations and individuals: Finally, due to a strong base of generous donors and corporate sponsors, Catholic Polytechnic is able to offer students generous financial aid and maintain the promise of tuition-debt-free education.

Tuition debt is any debt accumulated to cover the cost of attending classes (tuition) at a university. While it is separate from debt accumulated to cover the cost of housing, food, or other living expenses, tuition debt represents a huge portion of the debt that most university students end up accumulating. At Catholic Polytechnic, we are on a mission to remove financial barriers to education. We promise that our students will graduate without any tuition debt whatsoever. How? Thanks to the generosity of donors, we provide institutional scholarships, covering the rest of tuition for students who cannot afford to pay in full.

At this time, all classes are 100% online to accommodate the schedules of our students, many of whom are working adults.
