Fees and Financial Aid
Tuition for the Bachelor of Professional Studies degree is a flat fee of $390 per credit beginning fall semester 2012. Tuition rates are subject to an annual increase. Rates for the 2013-2014 academic year will be posted following approval at the July 2013 UW System Board of Regents meeting. All courses are three credits. There are no additional course or program fees. For example, a three-credit course will cost $1,170 (three credits X $390 per credit). Textbooks and software (if needed) are purchased separately and are not included in the credit tuition cost.
