NCU Lowers Cost of Undergraduate Education

Format of Degree Programs Encourages Completion in Four Years or Less.

Prescott, Arizona – May 7, 2007 — Northcentral University (www.ncu.edu), a leader in 100% online education today announced lower, highly affordable tuition rates that make the cost of quality online education affordable for students seeking to earn a bachelor’s degree. The University offers bachelor’s degrees in business and technology management, education, and psychology and accepts transfer credits from accredited colleges and universities throughout the U.S. and around the world.

Effective July 1, 2007 tuition for all 100% online undergraduate courses will be $250 per credit ($750 per three credit course). This new tuition rate is a highly affordable solution for students seeking a quality academic program and a bachelor’s degree from a premier online university.

“The cost of a college degree continues to accelerate at colleges and universities nationwide”, noted Dr. Claudia Santin, President of Northcentral University. “Undergraduate students seeking a quality education now have a more affordable online education alternative. NCU’s accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission and the Association of Collegiate Business Programs and Schools also assures students of a quality education that will help them compete throughout their careers.”

The undergraduate programs are designed to help students complete their degree requirements and graduate in four years or less, depending on the number of college credits already earned. NCU’s undergraduate courses are eight weeks long and completed by working one-on-one with faculty over the Internet. Students will be encouraged to enroll in two courses concurrently to decrease time to graduation. Students may start a class at the beginning of each month and overlap the two concurrent courses. Students may also transfer up to 90 undergraduate credits from community colleges and other colleges and universities, allowing them to graduate with an NCU bachelor’s degree in as little as one year.

NCU offers monthly course starts year round. Students never have to wait for a course because all courses are offered every month. All instruction is offered over the Internet using the University’s convenient Learner web site and helpful resources such as the NCU Library and Writing Center. Students work on assignments individually with faculty Mentors who are experts in the subject matter and trained in online teaching and learning.
