Compare NCU's Tuition Rates with Other Online Programs

The cost of attending accredited colleges today averages more than $20,000 per year. A bachelor's degree can cost over $100,000; a master's degree over $30,000; and a doctoral degree an additional $50,000 or more.

At NCU, tuition and fees are highly affordable. Our online degrees cost less than half of what you would expect to pay for a quality regionally accredited program. In addition, NCU's 100% online format with no on-campus residency required saves you travel time and money!

We invite you to compare the total cost of an NCU degree with the costs at other universities. When making your comparisons, be sure to calculate the following costs:

  • Tuition cost per credit.
  • Number of credits required for the degree.
  • Registration, technology, and graduation fees.
  • Dissertation fees, if you are a doctoral student.
  • Travel expenses and other costs to physically attend classes, special sessions or residency requirements (gasoline, parking, car maintenance, airline tickets, lodging. etc.)
  • Most importantly, consider whether the school is regionally accredited.

Transfer Credits Save Time and Money

Northcentral University generously accepts transfer credits which can also save you money. For program cost estimates, see our estimated cost of attendance page for more details.
