How Much Does My Training Cost?

Tuition Pricing and Cost per Credit Hour

Net Price Calculator

The Net Price Calculator is designed to help you get a meaningful estimate of total, out-of-pocket costs, based on your particular financial circumstances and anticipated aid.

How It Works

The calculator first factors cost of attendance including tuition and fees, room and board, books/supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. Using Financial Data you enter, the calculator then estimates the amount that you/your family would be expected to contribute to pay school expenses. Finally, the calculator evaluates your eligibility for Financial Aid (need-based) by matching your financial and personal characteristics to the criteria used to determine financial aid awards.

To complete the calculator you will need to answer some basic questions about you/your family’s financial situation. It may be helpful to have recent tax forms and pay stubs/income statements on hand before you begin. The Calculator takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. You must have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
