Do you offer financial aid?
We can offer Stafford loans for students enrolled at least part-time (4 credits) in a graduate program. Candidates will need to complete the FAFSA to receive award information. There are no grants available from Corban College, but we encourage prospective students to look for graduate scholarships available through your school or district (if you are a teacher), or through private organizations.
Do you accommodate non-traditional students?
Yes. Our classes are held in the evenings on campus during the week or online. In the summer we offer two-week intensives as well as online courses. The program is designed to allow students to complete the program at their own pace.
