How to calculate tuition?

[treeye]

My program starts spring, and it runs through summer, fall, then spring, summer. So if I enroll in spring 2013, I'll graduate in summer 2014 after five semesters. It says on the school website that out of state tuition is 11000 per semester and 22000 per academic year. Does it mean that I have to pay 55000 for the total program?

thanks.

I'm guessing that the $22k refers to a 'normal' schedule of only two semesters per year. I think you ARE looking at $55k - which sucks. Is there a per-credit-hour fee or is the tuition flat rate? That might make a difference.

I got my ADN this past spring and it came to under $15,000, all costs included. I received education tax credits for over half my costs. I now work as an RN in a hospital, where I earn almost $70,000/year and the hospital is paying education expenses, as I start going for my MSN in an RN/MSN program. (I already had a BS in another field.) I feel quite fortunate.
