Tuition and Fees

Now’s the time to invest in yourself. Our tuition model allows you to flexibly manage your costs as you earn your degree.

A flexible tuition model

A top-quality education is an investment—in yourself, your family, your community, and your future. It shouldn’t have to be a financial burden in the present.

Our tuition model is designed to give you financial flexibility as you progress through your program. Each semester’s tuition is based only on the number of credit hours you’re enrolled in, meaning you can adjust your course load each term to manage costs in a way that fits your budget.

Plus, our advisors will work with you to maximize existing college credits and translate previous work or military experience into credit—reducing the number of courses you’ll need to complete your degree.

Tuition costs

Each term, your tuition is dependent on the number of credit hours in which you’re enrolled. To calculate the cost of tuition for a course, multiply the total number of credit hours for the course by the cost per credit hour. The cost per credit hour does not change based on how many courses you’re enrolled in.

Rates for the 2024-2025 academic year are:

  • All College of Professional Studies undergraduate courses, excluding science and writing labs (Includes Lowell Institute School and fast-track programs): $541 per credit hour
  • College of Professional Studies lab courses: $781 per credit hour

Active U.S. servicemembers and their spouses are eligible to receive an amended tuition rate of $250 per credit hour. Northeastern is committed to making education within reach and affordable for our military-affiliated students. To learn more, visit our military website.

Other fees

Current student fees include:

  • Student Center fee: An $8.25 fee will be assessed per semester for all students enrolled at Northeastern’s Boston campus. This fee is for facilities and services at the Curry Student Center.

The fee covers admission to home athletic events, use of the Marino Fitness Center, SquashBusters athletic facility, and the Cabot Gym. This fee also supports the future construction of athletic fields and facilities.
  • Additional fees may be required based on your status. Fees are subject to revision by the president and Board of Trustees at any time.

Chart your path forward

Many bachelor’s completion students leverage scholarships, grants, and employer reimbursement to lower their costs and earn their bachelor’s without going into debt. Speak with a financial aid counselor who can help you identify your options and chart a realistic, customized path to your goals.
