Selecting the Right Tuition Plan

Are you a full-time student?
For students who plan on earning more than 24 credits in a year (eight courses), our Comprehensive Tuition Plan is the best value. This option enables students to earn up to 36 credits in a year for one price (excluding books):

• NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS:   $4,695

Are you a part-time student?
