Northwest University-Center for Online and Extended Education

What is the cost of studying for a year at Northwest University-Center for Online and Extended Education?

For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at the center was $15,300 for both in-state and out-of-state students, with no separately reported required undergraduate fee. The reported part-time undergraduate charge was $488 per credit hour. These are tuition figures, not a complete annual cost of attendance.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $14,652.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $488 per credit hour.
• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $15,264, plus $100 in reported required fees.
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $672 per credit hour.

Books and supplies were reported at $792. A personal budget may also need to cover technology, transportation, housing, food, and program-specific expenses, even when classes are online. Students should use the current program tuition schedule and an individual aid offer for a present-day estimate; later published tuition figures should not be added to 2024-25 expense figures as though they describe the same year.

Net price is different from tuition: it estimates what students in a defined group pay after grant and scholarship aid, using the applicable cost-of-attendance calculation. In the reported income bands, average net price was $29,036 for families earning $48,000 or less and $33,605 for families earning $48,001-$75,000. Those averages are not quotes for a new applicant and may include living expenses. Reported financial-aid participation was 64%, and the average undergraduate grant award from federal, state, local, institutional, or other sources was $6,656. Eligible students may consider federal grants and loans, applicable state programs, institutional aid, and military education benefits; the actual combination depends on eligibility and the aid application.

What are the work-study opportunities at Northwest University-Center for Online and Extended Education?

Students interested in paid work should distinguish Federal Work-Study from ordinary part-time employment. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program: an eligible student must receive an award, obtain a qualifying job, and earn wages through hours worked. An award is not an up-front tuition discount or a guarantee of a position.

Online students should ask the financial-aid or student-employment office whether Work-Study is offered for their degree and whether remote or approved community-based positions are possible. Separately, the university's career resources may help with a job search, résumé, or professional plans, but career assistance should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome. Students seeking an internship should also confirm whether it carries academic credit, pay, both, or neither.
