Affordable Education, Student-Centered Experience
At University of the Cumberlands, we believe that higher education should be both affordable and student-centered. With our One Price Promise, the tuition you see is the price you pay—no hidden fees for textbooks, parking, or laundry. Our commitment ensures that students can focus on their education without financial surprises. We strive to provide a supportive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to achieve their goals.
Dr. Larry L. CockrumWe want all students to know that with Cumberlands there is a clear and affordable path to a college degree.
