Program Costs

The online cost structure is designed to be as affordable as the campus-based program. So, while the online tuition is a few dollars more, students within the UCCS Online Principal Licensure Program do not pay UCCS student fees. Online students can complete work from home at their convenience and are therefore not burdened by the added costs of gasoline, parking fees, babysitters, or meals when attending a traditional campus to complete coursework. Not included are costs for course materials (i.e., texts or course packets).

• Online Course Cost: $421.00 per credit hour
• Extended Studies Fee: $99.00 per course
