The majority of academic programs and courses that are part of your general education requirements within your academic degree program are charged at the campus base rate per credit hour. Some academic programs have slightly higher rates per credit hour to accommodate materials costs or other services. View academic program rates.
We offer several tuition discounts based on residency, military service and age.
Tuition is assessed each semester. Your program's tuition rate does not include the Student Life Fee.
