Student Spotlight
“The
work program was very beneficial; I have learned all the skills I am using
right now. It helped me to be responsible and get out of my comfort zone,
which was what I needed to be helpful to other people. Because of all the
experience I had , I now have a job doing survey and research and supervising
employees. Thank you Blackburn College and thank you Jerry O’hare.”

Extraordinary Educational Value
Blackburn’s tradition of attracting top students to our campus is partly due to the comprehensive financial aid packages we offer. Academic scholarships, grants, loans and our nationally-recognized Work Program give you the opportunity to obtain a quality private education with minimal out-of-pocket expenses.
Blackburn is one of very few colleges, nationwide to have lowered tuition! The tuition reduction clearly demonstrates that a Blackburn education is an extraordinary value and it comes with the added benefit of less “red tape” and confusion related to college tuition. Even with the lower tuition cost, we will continue to provide merit-based academic scholarships along with state and federal grants to qualified students. Blackburn is a great value – we know it, and as a student, you’ll know too!
You’ll be able to concentrate on your classes instead of worrying how you’re going to pay for them.
Blackburn College tuition reduced for 2008-2009 academic year!
