How much is your degree costing you?

Published

List the type of degree, and how much you have/will pay. I'm not counting books, uniforms, supplies, ATI/HESI, or any other random fees.

I'm in an ADN program at a CC. I already have a degree, so much of my stuff came over with me.

For my pre-nursing courses (mostly sciences), I paid about $4,000

For my nursing courses, I paid about $4,500

MY ADN with books is about $10,000 through my CC. I got a full scholarship through my honors program, so I only have to pay for books. Haven't gotten my book list for this semester, but I've heard it's a lot. My prereqs cost me about $3,000. I have no idea how much my BSN bridge will cost, but I'm going to get a job, I hope, and get tuition reimbursement, if it all goes according to plan.

BSN program from the top university in my country (top 100 in the world), costs roughly $10,000 for the full 4 years. The reason for the low costs in comparison to the USA is that my government subsidises the top universities--- THANK GOD!

I think it's about 10k......The cost I am paying(a good bit more since I had to get student loans that would cover living expenses since I quit a well paid job to go back to school...and we have 4 kids).

5 full time semesters for gen eds and prereqs for BSN @ cc = $6,500

4 full time semesters for BSN @ University = $15,000

So ultimately $21,500. I saved $8,500 by doing my first 2 years at cc.

About $4,000 not including books, uniforms, or extras. And most of that has been returned to my pocket with a tax credit. :) I'm in a 2-year ADN program at a CC and took pre-reqs back when it cost $15/unit. It's about $45/unit now. I buy my books on half.com so I will have spent less than $1,000 on books when it's all said and done. I get a tax credit for those as well. The biggest cost by far is childcare while I'm in school. $1,000 a month! :bluecry1:

ADN (five semesters), total tuition & fees (including pre-reqs and gen ed, lab fees, etc.) about $7,000. I have a degree already so I had already done some classes, so this will turn out to be slightly less for me. They estimate that tuition, plus books, supplies, uniforms and etc for someone who is starting without any credits will add up to about $9,300. But I don't plan on paying college bookstore prices for my books or supplies.

About $45K for an Accelerated BSN at a private, not-for-profit school. About $4k for pre-reqs at various communicaty colleges. Paid in cash and with scholarships I earned while there.

The total tuition cost per semester is around $10,500 at my school. Being a Catholic, private school, this is actually one of the cheaper schools around that fall into the same category. Also, they have many different kinds of grants and scholarships that help tremendiously. The amount that I end up covering with government loans is about $4800 or so. SO I'll pay about $30,000 to 40,000 total for my BSN.

Considering I was planing on going to pharmacy school and prepared to pay around $140,000 or more for that degree, I won't complain. Also, I didn't have many options as far as school. Penn State is just as expensive anymore plus the commute would have just been too much...
