Five pieces in this topic

How tuition rates are set

Tuition follows cost, with rules for distance learning, courseware, damage to equipment and the timing of obligations.

How a full cost tuition rate is built

Direct costs spread per student, a share of indirect costs, and the billable additions required by law or policy.

How an additional cost tuition rate is built

Pricing only what the extra international student adds, from instructors to fuel, and when pay counts as an extra cost.

Pricing dedicated programs and training teams

Programs built for one partner, where the authority chosen changes the price, and teams priced as a service.

The Field Studies Program and student costs

A view of American life outside the classroom, what tuition covers, and the costs left to the student’s government.
