Entry-level BASDH Program Costs (Excluding Prerequisites)

  • The entry-level BASDH two-year (eight quarter) program cost estimate for tuition, textbooks, program materials, instruments, incidentals, and associated fees is approximately $46,000.00 for the two year BASDH.
  • For budgeting purposes, we recommend estimating about 3% more than this estimate due to rising costs over the two-year period.
