Your net price is a college’s cost of attendance minus the grants and scholarships you receive. The net price you pay for a particular college is specific to you because it's based on your personal circumstances and the college’s financial aid policies. Use the college’s Net Price calculator for the most accurate estimate of your net price.

Students who have taken advanced placement courses in secondary school and wish to be considered for advanced credit or placement must take advanced placement tests of The College Board. All entering students who submit a score of four or five on these tests may receive one course credit for each tested area toward the 32-course graduation requirement. Course credit for advanced placement will be lost if a student takes the equivalent course at Gettysburg.

Our students engage in interdisciplinary learning, advanced scholarship, and global leadership through one or more of our high impact offerings including our five distinctive programs (Center for Public Service, Civil War Institute, Eisenhower Institute, Garthwait Leadership Center, and Sunderman Conservatory of Music), semester-long study abroad opportunities through the Center for Global Education, faculty-mentored research through the Cross-Disciplinary Science Institute (X-Sig), and Experiential Education programs. Gettysburg College students find plenty of ways to get involved, find their niche, and take ownership of their co-curricular experience on campus within our 120+ student clubs and organizations and robust Division III athletics and campus recreation programs. Gettysburg students graduate with a love of learning, knowledge and skills they need for success and new insight into the world, their place in it, and their obligations to it. From our Center for Career Engagement to alumni mentorships offered through the Gettysburg Network, we have the resources to ensure all students are positioned to land great jobs and lead great lives after graduation. Within one year of graduation, 98% of our recent graduates are employed or in graduate school.
