Cost of Tuition
Tuition is $365.00 per unit. On average, a student will enroll in 24-units each academic year. The yearly tuition amount may vary depending on what courses the student is taking. Once a student enrolls, they will not be subject to any tuition rate increase as long as they maintain continuous enrollment without a lapse of two years. Depending on the format a student enrolls in, students may pay tuition through an interest free installment plan, third-party tuition assistance, or Federal Direct Student Loans (if eligible).
