Become a Blue Jay

At Etown, we’re not interested in basic. We want exceptional, so we combine the most sought-after professional programs taught by outstanding professor-mentors, guaranteed high-impact experiences like research, internships, and cross-cultural study, and a 124-plus year tradition of learning to think critically, analyze deeply, and communicate effectively. It’s an education that will make you exceptional in whatever profession you choose. Our Blue Jay family is made up of athletes, artists, volunteers, musicians, scholars, and advocates who all strive to improve the world around them.

Etown offers 136 majors and minors along with several interdisciplinary and advising programs. If you don't see a program that interests you, or you are undecided, no worries, we can help!

Tuition & Costs

Choosing where you will continue your education is one of the most important decisions you will make – and tuition and costs are often large deciding factors. We are committed to provide an excellent education at a cost that is accessible and affordable to everyone. We offer over $24 million in institutional scholarships and grants to 96% of students and 99% of our students receive some form of financial aid.

When compared with cost and value at other types of institutions, a private college or university, is worth the investment.

We make a commitment to our students and their families to provide an excellent education. We invest in our faculty, facilities, curriculum and offerings to add additional value to your educational experience and to your future degree. We work hard to offer a high-quality four-year degree at a cost that makes it accessible to everyone.
