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!
