Cost per credit NP programs

meluhn · Sep 5, 2009

I just applied to Rutgers here in NJ. I believe the price I saw was 302/credit which is hard to believe since my undergrad credits were around $285 just last year so I think 302 is too good to be true. Also check the aanp web site, there are grants available through them.

Hi,
Would you mind to share a ball park on the cost per credit for NP classes?
Thank you in advance.

I was wrong. The price for grad school credits is $620/credit. I knew it was too good to be true. Looks like I'll be taking one class at a time for the rest of my life. :clown:

Darn it looks like this is in-state. Out of state is $503.35/credit hour

Sorry--forgot to mention. All NP students, regardless of where they live, pay in-state tuition at USI. This is because the NP program is set up in distance education format. Indiana State is the same way, but a few dollars more expensive. I live in California and paid just under $10K (back when it was $238/credit) for the entire program. If they charged out of state for non-Indiana residence, it would be a fortune--around 20K or so.

Thank you, I must have missed that! That makes a huge difference, thanks for replying. It was kind of frustrating trying to track down the tuition rates on the different sites. Maybe its just me but I think tuition is pretty important and should be easily located. :)

I think they do that on purpose so we dont get scared away right off the bat. :coollook:

You are absolutely correct, it isn't very clear. Had I not known beforehand, I would have moved on to a different school because, at least for me, tuition is a huge consideration.
