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 $7,000 (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. For more information about paying for courses, please contact the Financial Aid Office at (305) 237-3244.
