Tuition, Financial Aid & Scholarships

Supporting our Students

This is one of the most important investments you'll ever make, and now that you've narrowed down your college options, cost has become a factor.

We provide all of the educational and cultural benefits inherent in a private, liberal arts institution — at a price that's competitive with most public and private colleges and universities. Because financial aid must be applied for through Lakeland University in Wisconsin, we recommend you let your admissions officer know of your intention to apply early in the admissions process.

Undergraduate Tuition and Fees

All tuition and fees are subject to change without written notice. Amounts are listed with all tax included, but do not include bank or wire transfer fees (such fees are the responsibility of the applicant). Please note tax rates may change, and such updates will be reflected in LUJ's admissions and fee information. 

All accepted students need to pay an Admissions Fee of ¥261,800 JPY. This one-time fee is for all new, matriculating students, and will be applied to your first-semester invoice. 

Please note there are no refunds in the event the student changes his or her status from "matriculated" to "non-matriculated" during their time of study at LUJ. 

Undergraduate program tuition is determined by the number of credits registered each semester. Please note 1 credit is calculated at ¥56,200 JPY, with a maximum fee of 12 credits (any credit number above 12 will still be billed for 12 credits).
