ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ's Pricing Structure

Most universities charge tuition by credit hour—if you take more courses, you pay more money—but not ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ. We offer flat-rate tuition. That means that whether you complete 8 courses in a term or 20, your tuition won’t change. Our pricing structure boasts:Ìý

  1. Flat-rate tuition.ÌýTuition is paid by six-month term, not by credit. You pay one low price for as many courses you complete in a term.
  2. Better savings.ÌýOur programs are competency-based. That means you can complete most courses as fast as you master the material. The more courses you finish in a term, the more money you can save.
  3. Low overhead.ÌýBecause ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ was designed without classrooms, quads, or sports arenas, we are able to keep our operation costs low. We pass that savings directly to our students. We pay less, so you do too.

We Call It Competency-Based Education.

Our Grads Call It the Best Way to Learn.
