Tuition

This is an Extended Campus program, which means a flat per-credit tuition rate for all students (in-state or out-of-state/international) and no student fees or technology fees. Please note: some courses may include assessment, course, participation or supervision fees for additional services and materials. Most Extended Campus courses do not include these fees, but you can check the current course-specific UNC Academic Fees. Note: Program Fees do not apply to Extended Campus.

The tuition for your BIO courses for the 2024-25 academic year (which runs Fall, Spring, and Summer terms) is $665 per credit hour. Tuition for the 2025-26 academic year will be determined mid-June 2025.

Please note:

• Any non-BIO courses that you take will likely be priced at a different rate per credit hour (with most being priced lower).
• Note: you will be able to complete this program entirely through Extended Campus coursework. However, if you choose to take any courses that are not offered through Extended Campus (whether they are on-campus or online) you will be charged the applicable Resident or Nonresident tuition rate for that course, and will incur the typical student fees that are charged to all on-campus students that term.

For information about paying your bill, including UNC's BearPay monthly payment option, visit the Bursar's Office Your Bill page.

Estimates of additional costs: For the purposes of determining financial aid, UNC follows Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE) and federal guidelines to develop an estimated, average Cost of Attendance (budget) for different student classifications. For your personal tuition estimates, we recommend using the program-specific tuition information above. But UNC's official Cost of Attendance/Student Budgets page can help you identify other estimated expenses for which you may be responsible while completing your program.
