We are pleased to announce that fees did not increase for the program that began in August 2022. The total amount of the five-semester program is $29,920. The cost per credit hour is $935. This amount covers all course fees, student fees and administrative fees, but does not include expenses associated with textbooks, transportation, lodging, or computer hardware (the program requires that students have unrestricted access to a personal computer, and a laptop may occasionally be needed during class weekends).

Help with Funding
Many corporations will reimburse for part or all of the program fees. Check with your Human Resources office. Please note that the 20-month program spans three calendar years, which is advantageous in cases where students are participating in employer-sponsored educational assistance plans that have maximum amounts payable within a single calendar year.
