Tuition and Fees

What does it cost to earn your degree at National University? The answer depends on your unique situation. Program preference, prior learning, military service and affiliation, and scholarship eligibility can affect expenses and funding resources. See the program tables below or the Cost of Attendance page to estimate the education costs that apply to you. Estimates do not serve as guarantees of the cost of attendance.

Your total cost of attendance will consist of both direct and indirect expenses you may incur while in school. Direct expenses can include tuition, fees, books, course materials, and equipment, while indirect expenses may consist of housing, food, transportation, personal expenses, and loan fees. The cost of attendance figure is also used by our Financial Aid Office to help determine your eligibility for aid.
