Students who take classes 100% online pay $395 per credit during the 2025-26 academic year.* Estimated book costs for the entire program equal $1,500.
Students who take a combination of online and in-person classes pay the on-campus tuition and fees for all of their classes.

Notice to Boise State and other Idaho higher education employees: Fee waivers only apply if you take a combination of online and on-campus classes.
Additional Required Courses
Additional university courses are required if you are not core certified and have fewer than 80 transferable credits. You will work closely with your advisor to identify your specific degree requirements once your transfer credits are evaluated for Boise State equivalencies.
Review the following table for details on additional required course costs:
The per credit fee listed assumes you complete these additional requirements using courses available in our Online Degree Pathway. If you take additional courses outside the program and/or Pathway then you will be charged standard tuition and fees (including non-resident fees if you live outside the state of Idaho).
*The per credit fees listed are for the 2025-26 academic year. Future academic year per-credit fees may vary slightly and are finalized each May.
