Funding Your Education
Tuition & Fees
Second-degree students will pay upper-division tuition levels and a per credit hour or per course surcharge of $38 for each nursing course.
We estimate the total cost of the program, with additional fees, could be between $30,000 - $33,000.
Financial Aid
We strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment with a Financial Aid Counselor if you plan to use financial aid to cover the full-time Spring/Summer semesters of the program.

If you are looking to make payments on tuition or set up a deferment plan, you can contact the Student Accounts office for additional assistance.
