Hear from Our APEX Students
I really wish I would have done it sooner. The fear of returning to school after being out for so long held me back, when in reality, the experience of the program—Xavier, the professors, and my peers—were nothing short of amazing.

If you’ve ever considered going to college as an adult, come to Xavier. I promise you’ll be supported as an APEX student and offered a multitude of services to ensure your success. You won’t regret your decision.

The camaraderie in the APEX classes between professor and student is very different from traditional classes. The professors realize that you are most likely working full-time and/or have a family in addition to being a student.

As a Yellow Ribbon School, up to 100% of tuition is covered at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
APEX students who receive tuition reimbursement from their employer now have the option to defer their tuition payment until 45 days after the course is completed.
