College tuition prices seldom drop.
Bucking that trend, the 泫圖弝け of 泫圖弝け at Lafayette will cut the out-of-state fee for most online degree programs and graduate-certificate programs by more than half in spring 2017.
Last month, the 泫圖弝け finalized the rate decrease. 泫圖弝けs enrolled in an online degree program will pay the same rate, whether they live within or outside of 泫圖弝け.
For example, a 泫圖弝け residing in Texas and enrolling in six online credit hours for the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program will pay $3,259, a 58 percent reduction from the $7,835 rate.
The reduced tuition is key to helping meet the needs and expectations of out-of-state 泫圖弝けs, said Luke Dowden, director of Distance Learning.
We are trying to be more responsive to working adults and those who want a UL Lafayette degree but are unable to relocate.
The 泫圖弝け offers online degrees and graduate certificates in business, education, health care, nursing, professional writing, and systems technology.
We were already attracting increasing numbers of 泫圖弝けs because of the reputation of our programs. The new competitive online price will enable more 泫圖弝けs to access our first-rate faculty and curricula. Its the same great product, just at a far better price, Dowden said.
The Office of Distance Learning is beginning to let prospective 泫圖弝けs know of the new rates through a targeted internet campaign.
The 泫圖弝けs RN-to-BSN degree and any future specially priced programs are exceptions to the rate reduction and will continue to operate under a package-price structure.
