Billing is Spread Out Over Terms:

You won't be billed the full program amount at once.

  • Example: If you’re enrolled in the $9,900 MBA or MS in Data Science, you won’t be billed the $9,900 all at once. 
  • You will only be billed for the number of credits that you take each enrollment period.

3 Enrollment Periods Per Year = 3 Bills Per Year

Enrollment PeriodTerms IncludedBilling Begins
FallFall 1 and Fall 2June
SpringSpring 1 and Spring 2November
SummerSummer 1 and Summer 2April

Important: If you register for courses in both terms of an enrollment period, charges for both terms will generally appear on the same enrollment period bill once your registration has been processed.

A Class is not the same as a Credit

  • Different classes count as different number of credits. 
  • Most classes are 3 credits, but some classes may be 1, 2, or a different number of credits. 

Sample: What a Bill Includes

MBA Example: Let’s pretend you’re in the MBA program.

  • Tuition: The MBA tuition rate is $300/credit. 
    • Let’s imagine you’re taking 1 course (3 credits) in Fall 1 and 1 course (3 credits) in Fall 2. That’s 6 total credits in the Fall enrollment period.
    • $300 x 6 credits = $1,800 for tuition
  • Technology Fee: 
    • Technology Fee: All graduate students are charged a $30/credit technology fee
    • $30/credit x 6 credits = $180 for the technology fee
  • Software/Textbook Fees:
    • You'll also be charged for any software and textbook fees required for your classes. View list of fees.
    • For example, if you take BUSA 515 within the MBA program, there is a fee of $75 to cover the simulation assessment integrated into the course.
  • Additional fees: View additional fees that may apply (i.e. one-time Graduation Fee)
  • Add up all your charges:
    • $1,800 Tuition + $180 Technology Fee + $75 Software fee = $2,055

*Please note that different programs have different tuition rates and the example above is just an illustration. It is important to view the tuition & fee rates per credit for your specific program.
