If you’re thinking about going back to school, fall is one of the best times to start. Whether you’re working full-time, managing a family, or looking to earn your degree for the first time, Tiffin University offers flexible, affordable programs designed to help you move forward. With multiple start dates and a structure built around your schedule, our online programs are made for busy adults who want to finish their degree without putting life on hold. Here are some reasons to start your online degree this fall.
Flexible Online Programs That Fit Your Life
Tiffin University offers fully asynchronous degree programs. This means you can complete your coursework on your own schedule while still meeting regular deadlines. Whether you study in the evening, early morning, or on weekends, our online platform is built to support your success. Course materials are available 24/7, and you’ll always know what’s expected each week. With no required login times and a clear course structure, you’ll have the flexibility to learn when it works best for you, without sacrificing your other responsibilities.
Start Now and Keep Moving Forward
Our next session begins August 25, 2025, with six start dates throughout the year. This makes it easy to begin when the timing is right for you. Starting in the fall helps you align your academic calendar with the financial aid cycle and gives you a strong starting point for the year ahead. Many students use the fall start to build momentum, especially if they plan to earn their degree over a one- or two-year period. If you’ve been thinking about earning your associate’s, bachelor’s, or master’s degree, there’s no reason to wait.
Maximize Transfer Credits and Prior Learning
If you’ve already completed college coursework or earned professional experience, we make it easy to turn that into progress toward your degree. We offer generous transfer credit policies and evaluate prior learning, including work experience, military training, and certifications. In fact, students can apply up to 30 credits through our Credit for Prior Learning program. Our admissions team will provide a personalized credit evaluation and help you understand exactly how your past work can count toward your academic goals.
Financial Aid, Scholarships, and Discounts Are Available
More than 80% of Tiffin University students receive financial aid, and starting in the fall doesn’t limit your eligibility. If you complete the FAFSA, you may qualify for federal grants and loans for the current academic year. TU also offers a wide range of scholarships and tuition discounts for military families, alumni, and employees of partner organizations. You don’t need to wait until January to apply for aid; the support you need to get started is available now.
Start When Motivation Is High
Fall is a season of new routines and fresh starts, which makes it a smart time to begin your degree. After summer schedules wind down, many students find it easier to focus and establish strong study habits. With your calendar resetting and the academic year in full swing, it’s the perfect opportunity to build momentum toward your long-term goals. Starting now helps you align your academic progress with the rhythm of the year, and keeps you moving forward while motivation is on your side.
