The length of time it will take to complete the program depends
on how many courses the students registers for each term. Courses
are available three terms per year: Spring, Summer, and Fall. Full-time
students can complete the program in two years. Part-time students
normally take three or more years to complete the program.
Students
pay for the number of credits taken each term. The present cost
for residents to complete the degree is less than $4,000 (including
books). Non-resident cost is about threefold higher. Costs may increase
marginally from year to year.
Tuition
can be paid at the Bursar’s Office by cash, check, or credit
card. If qualified, students may be eligible for grants or loans.
