Salem State ABSN 2020

[maddi_wa]

I haven't yet seen a thread for Salem State's ABSN program for 2020 yet. I know they don't typically send out decisions until March/April (based on what I read from last year's thread) but wanted to start a discussion to keep track! I applied to Salem State, University of Southern Maine, and Curry College and am waiting to hear back from Salem and Curry!

Hi all! For those who attended or anyone else who knows, was the tuition just the normal Salem State rates? Asking because most schools have a different rate for ABSN programs.

It’s currently $600 a credit for the ABSN program for the 20/21 academic year. I’m not sure if they increase their tuition annually but I’m assuming it would be some where in that ballpark. 
 

The ABSN program is 53 credits.

Thank you! I was a little confused before but I see where it says 20/21 was 600, and the 2021 cohort will be 625 so that clears it up. Are you currently in the program? How is it? @Linh.Vee

I am currently in the program but I can’t in good faith tell you how the program actually is because COVID changed everything for my cohort.

I can tell you that this is the most affordable ABSN program you’ll find and that holds a lot of weight and is why most people choose this program. Any school you choose, you’ll get what you put into it. Don’t expect things to be easy or handed to you on a silver platter because they won’t be. But if you’re looking for affordability and the fact that you’ll get to sit for boards in 15 months and pay 1/3 the price of other programs, then I’d recommend Salem State.
