Going back to school while working is a big decision, and cost is often the first question. The Financial-Aid Checklist in your free guide helps you get organized before you talk with any school.
Here are common ways working adults explore to help pay for school:
Illustrative example only
A 120-credit program at an illustrative rate of $330 per credit would cost:
120 credits × $330 = $39,600
If 45 previously earned credits transfer:
75 remaining credits × $330 = $24,750
45 transferred credits can reduce the illustrative tuition calculation from $39,600 to $24,750.
Illustrative example only. This is not a guaranteed tuition price. Actual costs and transfer-credit decisions are set by individual schools.
