Tuition & Financial Aid
College is always an investment, but it’s important to note that our education degree completion program is offered at a discounted rate.
In fact, at only $499 per credit hour, you will pay less than half of what a traditional undergraduate pays!
Cost per Credit Hour
It’s fair to expect your total cost will be between $29,940 and $35,928, depending on the number of credits you transfer in.
Students typically pay for tuition through loans, external grants, and scholarships. We also offer flexible payment plans for each term. Details about filing the FAFSA and finding loans can be found on the Financial Aid page for accelerated teaching degree students. Once admitted, your financial aid counselor will be a great resource and partner for navigating the financial aid process.
