Tuition for Galen’s BSN program is based on a per credit hour model:
- $425 per quarter credit hour for general education courses
- $525 per quarter credit hour for nursing education courses
Tuition Calculations
Many people find it helpful to calculate their tuition and fees quarter by quarter. Since the course distribution and course loads change each quarter, this gives you a more accurate prediction of your program costs.
To estimate total tuition for the program, multiply the quarter credit hours of each category by the total credits the program requires in each:
Your costs may be lower if you transfer in creditsⓘ or receive scholarships, grants, or reimbursement from your employer. Review your financial aid options if you haven’t already done so. You can calculate either quarterly or total tuition and fees based on the BSN curriculum or the current catalog.
Course Fees
Additional fees are charged per course for some classes:
- 10 lab courses at $50 per course
- 9 clinical courses at $125 per course
- $105 per online courseⓘ
Again, you may find it more helpful to look quarter-by-quarter to calculate your upcoming expenses.
Additional Fees
These fees are charged once per degree/program enrollment:
- $150 background fee, due after acceptance and paid during the enrollment appointment
- $100 registration fee, due after acceptance and paid during the enrollment appointment
- $250 uniform and supplies (estimated): requires purchase of leather shoes, wristwatch with a second hand, stethoscope, penlight, bandage scissors, blood pressure cuff, CPR certification, and uniforms
Additional Costs
When budgeting for your education, add an estimated $3,600 total for books plus your living expenses (like costs for housing, food, transportation, etc.). Remember, this is a full-time program. Most students are more successful if they devote themselves full-time to the program.
You will need a physical exam and required immunizations; the cost for these will vary depending on your health insurance.
