SUBJECT: FY2005 Tuition Rates for Allied Health On-line Programs

DESCRIPTION:

The on-line programs offered by the School of Applied Studies are Radiation Therapy, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, and a Bachelor of Health Science. Since many students enrolled in these programs have their tuition paid by their employers, it is necessary to set the rates early so these employers can incorporate the costs in their FY 05 budgets.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

The FY 05 university budget will include the following tuition rates for Allied Health on-line programs:

Radiation Therapy $250 per credit hour

Diagnostic Medical Sonography $190 per credit hour

Bachelor of Health Science $190 per credit hour

NOTE: Bachelor of Health Science students enrolled in on-campus courses will pay the standard undergraduate (resident/non-resident) tuition. Students enrolled in on-line courses will pay the $190 per credit hour rate.

The FY 04 rates were: Radiation Therapy $230 per credit hour; Diagnostic Medical Sonography and Bachelor of Health Science, $175 per credit hour.

RECOMMENDATION:

President Farley recommends the Board of Regents approve the FY 2005 tuition rates for the Allied Health on-line programs as detailed above.
