Tuition & Financial Aid
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much is tuition?
Tuition costs vary by course and program. Please refer to the individual program pages for the most current tuition information.
How do I pay tuition?
Self-funded students who will not be using an outside funding source may pay their tuition via PayPal. By doing so, they will not need to share their financial information with us. PayPal allows you to make payments using a variety of methods including debit, credit, or a bank account.
