Graduate students are those who are earning a master’s or doctoral degree through Southeastern University. These degrees are offered online, in-person, or in a hybrid learning format. Graduate degrees are also available through select partner sites.
Pursuing a graduate degree at Southeastern University is one of the most impactful investments you can make in your future, opening the door to meaningful, high-paying career opportunities. At SEU, we’re committed to making this investment accessible through manageable graduate tuition and no-interest payment plans that ease the financial journey.
Take the next step with confidence, knowing that your education here will empower you to achieve your professional and personal goals.
Earning your graduate degree doesn’t have to be a financial burden — your employer may offer tuition assistance to help you reach your goals. Many companies provide funding for education-related expenses, but employees often don’t realize this benefit is available. A simple conversation with HR could unlock opportunities to save a significant portion of your tuition.

Note that if you do not qualify for an unsubsidized student loan, you may be able to apply for a Graduate Plus loan.
The tuition for our master’s and doctoral degrees is competitively priced, so at this time, institutional scholarships are not available. However, you are welcome to look into third-party scholarships and/or student loans designed for master’s or doctoral students. Our enrollment counselors can also help you coordinate benefits that may be available through your employer.
