(The fact that you have worked your way to this Web page already speaks to your motivation - congratulations!)

Q: Cost is a consideration; what can you tell me?
A: You should select a program based on its quality, and that is why you select Stetson University. But for those where cost is a major consideration, you should note that our Web Development Program is an excellent good value in Florida. The information in this course is most often "packaged in a four course series that can cost twice as much. Where else do you receive a superb software package and Stetson quality instruction at the same price?

Q: How can Stetson deliver its Web Development Program for less than Orlando-area providers charge?
Our program tuition is based on our costs. We do not have sales personnel whose job depends on selling you the course. A few years ago there were many IT training providers in the Orlando area, but they went away when times got hard. Stetson has been around 125 years and will be here for the next 125.

Does Stetson provide financial assistance?
Yes! Financial assistance for our Web Development Program is through private lenders. No matter who is the provider, all tend to go to the same lenders such as SallieMae. Do not let slick ads trick you into believing some training business can connect you with more or better financial aid than Stetson University. Lending sources

Q: Does the Stetson offer discounts?
No on discounts; yes on tuition reduction programs. We cannot offer discounts because we have lowered our course cost to the lowest possible consistent with the quality program we deliver. We do not artificially raise our prices and then offer discounts as a scheme to attract the unwary. Yes on tuition reductions when these result in programs savings in marketing that we can pass on to students and corporations. Call for details.

Q: Is Stetson's Web Development Program approved for VA benefits?
We expect to have VA approval shortly. More on Veterans benefits.
