The $21,990 package includes tuition, registration, the school-supplied technical and digital kits, textbooks, shipping, and tax. Required technical kit contents may instead be purchased independently if they meet the school's requirements. An existing compatible iOS device may make a new iPad unnecessary. Idaho licensing-application fees are separate; the school pays for your first state licensing exam if you take it within six months of graduation.
