The on-time completion rate identifies the percentage of students completing this program during the most recent federal award year who completed within “normal time”. The term “normal time” means the length of time it would take a student to complete this program if the student is continuously enrolled, takes one course at a time, and successfully completes each attempted course. Students enrolled in this degree program are typically nontraditional students. Students may exceed “normal time” for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to, internships, practicum, clinical rotations, student teaching or administrator experiences required for licensure.
The figure for median loan debt represents the median amount of debt incurred by students who completed the program during the relevant federal award year. The actual amount of debt a particular student will incur to complete this program is dependent upon various factors specific to the student.
The tuition range provided represents the sum of tuition and typical fees required to complete the program within normal time, based on the University’s 2010-2011 tuition levels. The actual costs that will be incurred by a particular student to complete this program will depend upon factors specific to that student. Tuition rates for this program may vary due to factors such as: (i) modality of coursework and (ii) future changes in tuition rates. The number of credits required for a particular student to complete the program will be dependent upon various factors, including: (i) transfer credits available; (ii) repeated coursework; and (iii) completion of additional specializations within this program.
