Tuition & Application Costs
Buddha Dharma University strives to provide high-quality, Internet-based Buddhist education at an affordable cost.
Scholarships are available for students in need. (Visit the Financial Aid page for more information.)
One-Time Application Fee:
$25 (25 USD)
Graduate Tuition:
$50 (50 USD) per course
NOTE: This is our current cost based upon keeping a low overhead. Once we enter into the formal accreditation cycle our costs will go up significantly, therefore, the cost per course will by their nature increase significantly. Students enrolled at BDU at that time will be "grandfathered" so that their tuition costs do not increase.
So, if you are considering attending Buddha Dharma University, please apply and begin as soon as possible to avoid the coming tuition hike.
Post-Graduate Tuition:
Starting at a yet to be determined date, Buddha Dharma University will offer courses leading to a post-graduate (doctorate) degree.
Payment Method
Currently, we offer payment via PayPal. You'll find the link to pay for your course(s) on our Application page. (NOTE: All payments must be made in USD.)
Refund Schedule:
Full refunds (less non-refundable $25 Application Fee) will be given if requested in writing within 7 days from the start of the quarter. Between 8 days and 14 days into the quarter, a 50% refund will be given. After 14 days, no refunds will be given.
