Notes:

Tuition is subject to change.

RA/TA/GA Positions DO NOT always cover the Nursing Differential. Please check with supervisor to see exactly what is covered.

Effective January 1, 2002, the University adopted an Educational Assistance Plan, complying with Internal Revenue Code Section 127, which excludes the value of graduate-level tuition waivers from taxable income up to $5,250 per year.

An additional $3.00 will be assessed for the Student-To-Student Assistance Program (refundable).

*Health Insurance Fee of can be waived if you have proof of other insurance. An insurance waiver form needs to be filled out by the specified deadline and only needs to be completed once during your time as a student.

Regional students: Fees may vary - please check with site for specifics.

For more detailed information on tuition rates, visit the Office of Admissions and Records.

E-Tuition

Certain certificate programs and online programs charge e-tuition instead of the range tuition listed above. The current e-tuition rate is $695 per credit hour.

MS-DNP Tuition Rate

Since Post-Master’s DNP students are off-campus and online nursing students, the College of Nursing has designated a per-credit hour tuition rate.

There will be no separate fees or tuition differential. The rate for Fall 2009 – Spring 2010 is $679.00/credit hour ($664 plus a $15 administrative fee) of enrollment. This tuition rate means that you will not be eligible for university health insurance or to use the university’s health centers.
