Magdalen College of the Liberal Arts is an investment in your future. Thanks to scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study, Magdalen College can work closely with students and families to explore all available funding resources. Magdalen seeks to make it possible for all qualified students to attend, regardless of income. Our goal is to try our best to meet each student’s demonstrated financial need.
Each family’s circumstances are unique. Therefore, we encourage all families to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which will determine the need-based federal and institutional aid the student may be eligible for. To be considered for need-based aid, a FAFSA must be submitted each year by April 1.
If upon receiving Magdalen College’s financial aid award, a student finds that another Newman Guide school is giving more aid so that it costs less overall to attend that college (total out-of-pocket cost), Magdalen College will attempt to work with the student and family to match that out-of-pocket cost. Simply submit your award letter from another Newman Guide school, and upon review, the financial aid team will determine whether Magdalen can match the competing school’s offer.
Cost of attendance for the 2022-2023 academic year:
Tuition | $23,000 |
Room & Board | $9,400 |
Fees | $600 |
Total Cost | $33,000 |
Students will have the opportunity to earn one college credit by taking one of the following courses offered at Magdalen College. Taught in Socratic-style seminar discussions, each course enables students to explore a particular interest and discover if it could lead to a college major or area of focus. Students will spend 3.5-4 hours in class each day, have some assigned homework, and spend the remaining time in prayer liturgy, and sacred music, relaxation with new friends, and a wide range of extra-curricular activities.
Myth in Philosophy: Seeking Wisdom through Poetry and Story (1 credit) – Dr. Erik van Versendaal
What is the relationship between poetry and philosophy? Why does speaking about ultimate things lead philosophers into the realms of poem and story? This course considers philosophical works that are undertaken in a poetic mode alongside poems that express philosophic truth.
Physics: Understanding Boomerangs, Billiard Balls, and Balance Beam Routines (1 credit) – Mr. John Klucinec
This course explores the laws of motion as described by Galileo and Newton, by reading and discussing these authors and through classroom experiments. Students will gain an understanding of physics in concrete phenomena: through the aerodynamics of the boomerang, the motion of billiard balls, fluid dynamics, air flight and the physics of gymnastics and diving.
Theology of the Body: The Deeper Meaning of Love, Sex, and Marriage (1 credit) – Dr. Ryan Messmore
When it comes to romantic relationships and marriage, today’s culture is awash in confusion. The Church calls people to see a deeper meaning to sexual desire and marriage. But what is that, and how can it be pursued in modern times?
$325.00 USD
Students will experience the joy of learning in a variety of liberal arts fields, including courses in literature, philosophy, theology, and politics. Taught primarily in Socratic-style seminar discussions, these courses allow students to read classic texts and wrestle with big questions across a range of disciplines. Students will spend 3.5-4 hours in class each day, have some assigned homework, and spend the remaining time in prayer, liturgy, and sacred music, relaxation with new friends, and a wide range of extra-curricular activities.
