Payment of tuition is on a semester by semester basis according to the number of credit hours the student enrolls in. Future tuition increases cannot be predetermined. The tuition estimate total is based on the entire 53 credits required for this certificate. If you have credit for any or all of the general education courses required, your tuition cost will reflect fewer credits during the first year of the program. Additional costs (tuition/books) associated with completing prerequisite or developmental classes will depend on individual academic circumstances and placement testing.
