The initial undergraduate tuition rate as a freshman will be continued (with percentage increases of 4 to 5 percent based on past history) for the 5-year duration of the program. Summer College of Nursing and Health Professions hourly rates will apply for summer study.
When considering other aid options, Federal/State/Valpo grants are available to those who qualify for the first three years, and graduate limits applying to the last two years. If summer aid is needed, it is important to remember that generally only loans will be available.
