Continuing Education Tuition & Fees
Tuition is payable by cash, check, MasterCard, Discover, Visa or American Express. For applicants whose expenses will be paid by a company or by a public or private agency, please refer to the Payment Options link. The rate a student pays per credit for a course is based on his or her current student status. Most courses at the School of Art & Design are studio courses. Below are tuition rates for Continuing Education status students for semesters: Fall 2008, Spring 2009 & Summer 2009.
Continuing Education: $350 per credit
Studio Fee: $160 per course
Courses with an "S" preceding the course number include a studio fee of $160 in addition to the per credit charge.
These fees are non-refundable:
Registration Fee: $25
All students taking courses for continuing education credit are required to pay the registration fee. This fee is charged each term in addition to tuition and must be submitted at the time of registration.
