The SPS program offers a new, all-inclusive undergraduate pricing structure of $383-per-credit, and tuition and scholarship assistance is available.
Want to take evening classes after work and dinner? Need Wednesdays clear to coach your child’s soccer team? No problem. With options to study online, in person or hybrid, you have the flexibility to balance your studies with your daily life as it is now. Begin when you’re ready, thanks to five start dates throughout the year. And finish faster – our bachelor’s programs require around 31 class hours and classes just weeks rather than months.
