Out-of-state costs cut more than half for UL Lafayette online degrees

Published

College tuition prices seldom drop.

Bucking that trend, the 小蝌蚪APP 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 小蝌蚪APP finalized the rate decrease. Students enrolled in an online degree program will pay the same rate, whether they live within or outside of Louisiana.

For example, a student 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.

小蝌蚪APP淭he reduced tuition is key to helping meet the needs and expectations of out-of-state students,小蝌蚪APP said Luke Dowden, director of Distance Learning.
