I'm questioning whether I should accept fall entry to a grad school program here in the deep south. They want $584 per credit hour, while public school grad programs for the comparitive degree want around $225-300 per credit hour. Not sure what to do.

Is $22,000 for grad school (MSN in Management) tuition competitive?

I think I am paying around $900

MSN/FNP program, private school, midwest: $540/credit hour

My ACNP program = $800-ish for in state, $900-ish for out of state.

thanks guys...the private school I'm going to attend said their prices were competitive. I guess they are right. But knowing I could the equivalent degree from a neighboring public unversity for $12,000 less is tempting.

But I'm really impressed so far with the private school.

It is tempting, and as much as I wouldn't want a name to sway my decision, the program I was accepted into just seems like a great fit for my life at the moment, as well as my goals as an NP. I also spoke with some graduates of the program, who all had nothing but good things to say about it, which impressed me.

Wow. That's per credit hr without outlying fees?

I feel fortunate to be paying $456/credit hr in my public university, then. I'll quit griping about that from now on.

They just recently changed our fees, as the state lost it's tort cap and the institution (medical, dental, nursing schools, plus hospital, clinics & research programs) has to come up with an extra 30 million/year for insurance.

So, residents it's $470/credit. Non-residents it's $625/credit. One thing I'm not noticing people stating is if it's quarter or semester, or what their fees are (sometimes that can make a BIG difference). OHSU is on a quarter system. Full time (9-credits), including fees comes to $5792.80. Non-resident it is $7187.80. Both of these include health insurance coverage which can be waived if you have other coverage.

There used to be no difference at the graduate level for residents/non-residents. One nice thing is that non-residents who were matriculated before summer of 2007 don't have to pay non-resident costs

Yep....

Thank goodness for tuition reimbursement and union wages....
