2024-2025 Tuition & Fees Details

* Prices are for students taking one online asynchronous seven-week class every session (six classes per year). Additional fees apply. Most Masters Degrees can be completed in two years at that speed, and the PhD typically takes three years. Prices may vary by degree chosen. Federal financial aid can be applied to lower this amount even more for those who qualify.
