Other costs
Costs are taken from the detailed cost schedule on page 17 of Course Catalog Volume 10. Confirm current pricing with the school before enrolling. Prices do not include any registration fee unless the total column says so. See our school policies for the refund schedule.
We can tailor a payment plan, and many students qualify for GI Bill or ACCES-VR funding that covers the cost entirely.
