Tuition and Fees
Now Is the Time to Invest in Your Future
A top-quality education is an investment—in yourself, your family, your community, and your future. That investment, however, should still be one you can reach.
At Northeastern, we’re committed to providing an affordable education. Through scholarships, loans, and grants, we help lower the cost of your bachelor’s degree so you can move higher in your career.
Tuition for College of Professional Studies‘ programs is reasonable and attainable. This means adult learners can earn a Northeastern degree on a schedule and at a pace that meets their needs, at an affordable price.
Tuition Costs
Course tuition for our programs is based on the number of semester hours in each class. Your total tuition due for the semester is dependent on the number of semester hours in which you’re enrolled. To calculate the cost of tuition for an individual class, multiply the total number of semester hours for the course by the cost per semester hour.
Importantly, the cost per credit does not change based on how many courses you’re enrolled in, all credits follow the same cost structure.
Rates per semester hour for the 2023-2024 academic year are:
- All College of Professional Studies undergraduate courses, excluding science and writing labs (Includes Lowell Institute School and fast-track programs)— $541
- College of Professional Studies lab courses (science and writing labs) — $781
Starting Fall 2023, active U.S. servicemembers and their spouses are eligible to receive an amended tuition rate of $250 per semester hour for our Bachelor Completion Programs through the College of Professional Studies. Northeastern is committed to making education within reach and affordable for our military-affiliated students. To learn more, visit our Fund Your Education page.
