The tuition costs below are based on the 2025-2026 tuition rates. To determine total cost estimates for a program, multiply the cost of tuition per credit hour by the total number of credits needed to complete the program. Your actual cost may be more, or less, depending on whether you are required to complete prerequisite courses or courses to develop essential competencies, elect to take additional courses or receive credit for course work previously completed. Total costs will be based on the actual annual tuition rate and fees in effect. Tuition may change each year; during the past five years it has increased 0-6% annually.
