Built for Adults

With flexible learning options, a generous transfer credit policy, and personalized support, we're dedicated to helping you achieve your goals.

Completion Time—12 Months: Requires 90 credits from prior ASN/ADN as well as prior learning credits (5 each) for the Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences core requirements. Students are advised to complete one 6-credit course plus 8 modular credits per term for the first term and two 6-credit courses plus 8 modular credits per term for the second, third, and fourth terms to complete within 12 months. NU300 may only be taken in the first term along with modular credits. Students may combine NU497 and NU498 in the fourth term to complete in fewer than five terms. Students who have not met prerequisite requirements may need to complete more than the required 180 quarter credit hours to fulfill degree plan requirements. The current program features a revised degree plan and thus historic data on time to completion are not available.

Cost Comparison: Standard online tuition is $315.00 per quarter credit hour; cost per term is based on a full-time student taking two 5- or 6-credit courses per term. Enrollees in either option will pay a per-term resource fee and associated program fees.

Employment and Career Advancement: Purdue Global does not guarantee employment or career advancement. Actual outcomes vary by geographic area, previous work experience and opportunities for employment.

ExcelTrack® Degree Pace: ExcelTrack® is designed to advance your progress based on existing knowledge; however, degree pace and time and cost savings will vary by individual. Students must enroll in a minimum number of credits per term to remain eligible for financial aid. Refer to the Financial Information section of the University Catalog for additional information.

Three-Week Trial: Classes count toward a degree if satisfactorily completed. No credits are earned if the student withdraws during the introductory period (3 weeks for new qualifying undergraduate students), which begins day one of the first term. Students who choose to continue their studies at the University will need to meet specific requirements. Graduate programs not included. Additional terms may apply to non-U.S. citizen students.
