EXTENSIVE CAREER GUIDANCE — FOR LIFE Whether you need help in career decision-making, internship planning, job-hunting or networking, get help before, during and any time after graduation from Thiel. AFFORDABILITY Thiel is one of the least expensive private colleges in western Pennsylvania — and with our competitive scholarships and financial aid we are often less expensive than regional public schools.
WAYS TO SHOWCASE SKILLS With our co-curricular transcript and e-Portfolio system, you can demonstrate in a tangible way to future employers and professional schools what you’ve learned and accomplished. NINTH–SEMESTER TUITION BENEFIT Sometimes students need an extra semester to finish their degrees because of opportunities like internships, service learning or study abroad. These “extras” are an important part of the college experience and Thiel is making them affordable for students by significantly discounting tuition in the ninth semester— qualifying students receive the alumni tuition discount of 60 percent! POST–GRADUATE PERKS Our graduates can take additional classes with a 60 percent tuition discount in existing classes with available seats. And don’t forget that networking with more than 10,000 Thiel alums will yield amazing advantages in your profession!
Apply early and get the ball rolling on your financial aid package. Priority filing deadline for institutional aid is March 15.
YOUR LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE At Thiel College, we’re committed to you even before your first day of class. After you apply, our staff will reach out to help you discern your academic and career goals, talents and aspirations. Once your classes begin at Thiel, your learning adventure is off to a great start with experienced professors, not teaching assistants. After you graduate, you’ll benefit from continued networking with Thiel faculty and 10,000 alumni who live around the world. Take advantage of career counseling, even after you graduate. We also offer 60 percent tuition discounts to alumni who want to brush up on skills or explore new career fields. Thiel College is for life! Arrange an internship as early as your freshman year. A Washington Semester recently led to a permanent job for a Thiel grad at the Pentagon!
