Tuition & financing

Make your career goals more affordable with flexible online learning

Tuition is $676 for each credit hour of the full 30-credit master’s degree, or $20,280. There is also an additional program fee of $103 per semester in addition to tuition fees.

This program is affordably priced to accommodate the lives and commitments of working adult professionals. 

You won’t be billed upfront for the whole degree. Instead, with pay-as-you-go tuition, you only need to pay for the courses you take in each session.

Financial Consideration: Enrolling in two or more academic programs may change the anticipated cost of attendance. In general, if there is a cost differential, tuition will be charged at the higher rate. If you are planning to earn dual degrees, please consult the tuition calculator and/or contact Graduate Admissions to learn more. Please note, all final tuition rates and annual increases are subject to change, so these figures are solely for estimating purposes.
