Published undergraduate tuition $11,822
Finding Universal College of Healing Arts charges 29% below the national private for-profit median tuition.

What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Universal College of Healing Arts is $21,658.

Method Average net price from College Scorecard; compared with state, locale, and U.S. medians from EDsmart aggregates.
