Did you know that there are different rules for how public and private universities are required to post their tuition? Public universities are permitted to post the net costs, which are often referred to as “In-State Tuition,” while private non-profit institutions are required to list the gross per hour tuition rate. Additionally, public universities are not always clear on the extra fees and charges that may be assessed to a student after they have enrolled. At Hodges, we want to make sure that students clearly understand the value of the education they are getting.
A student is comparing the RN program at both Hodges University and a community college. In a head-to-head comparison, Hodges appears to cost more for the same program. What the student doesn’t realize is the community college is offering a two year RN degree while Hodges is offering the employer-preferred and possibly required Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing.
Our program is also inclusive of tuition, books, labs, uniform, and stethoscope, while the community college may charge additional fees for these items. Additionally, while both programs require prerequisite courses, our program is offered at an accelerated pace, in a small class size setting, and taught during hours when working adults can attend.
A student comparing Hodges University and a public 4-year university sees an advertised rate of, on average, $240 per credit hour for an undergraduate degree. Compared to Hodges’ posted rate of $595, this sounds like a fantastic deal, but let’s dig a little deeper. First, that rate only applies if you are in the state. Average rates for out of state students attending a public 4-year university are, on average, about $800. At Hodges University, you pay the same per credit hour rate from anywhere in the world.
Hodges’ base rate is $595, however with our core plus four model you get 16 credits for the price of 12. Additionally, if you do live in the state of Florida, you may automatically qualify for the EASE grant, which is about $1420 for 2020-2021. This means that you could pay as little as $353.75/credit hour. Then, when you add on GI Bills, military and corporate discounts, yellow ribbon programs, career source funding, scholarships, Bright Futures, Pell Grant awards, and internal scholarships, some students pay little to nothing at all.
Not to mention, in a public 4-year university, you can attend classes with up to 200-350 students taught by a graduate student for your first two years. At Hodges, our class sizes average 12-15 and are taught by award-winning faculty with real-world experience. After all, the attention and support you receive can be the deciding factor in your success.
