What Touro University Worldwide does

Touro University Worldwide (TUW) is a nonprofit online university operating as part of the Touro College and University System, headquartered in Los Alamitos, California. The institution delivers 100% online degree programs at the associate, bachelor, master, and doctoral levels across Business, Psychology, Health Sciences, and Behavioral Sciences, including specialized offerings such as an MBA with concentrations in AI Management and Cybersecurity Management, a Doctor of Management, and a PsyD. Its underlying technology is an asynchronous online learning platform serving roughly 19,000 enrolled students with a small core administrative footprint of 11-50 employees.

TUW generates revenue primarily through tuition on a per-credit basis, with undergraduate courses priced at $400/credit, master-level courses at $500/credit, and doctorate-level courses at $700/credit. The institution has structurally eliminated textbook costs and many ancillary fees, offers military tuition discounts of 37-40%, and accepts credit through StraighterLine and a network of community college transfer partnerships. Strategic positioning is anchored by institutional accreditation through WSCUC and program-specific accreditation for marriage and family therapy, which together enable Title IV federal financial aid eligibility—a necessary condition for competing in U.S. higher education.
