Approximate total program cost before financial aid
The $23,990 total includes tuition, registration, the school-supplied technical and digital kits, textbooks, shipping, and tax. You need the required equipment, but may purchase the technical kit's individual contents independently if they meet the school's kit requirements. An existing compatible iOS device may make a new iPad unnecessary. Idaho licensure application fees are separate; the school pays for your first state licensing exam if you take it within six months of graduation.
