$116.00/course
The cost of providing health career classes is significantly more than the cost of providing a general classroom lecture course because health program courses have clinical and/or laboratory components requiring much lower student/faculty ratios and expensive laboratory equipment and supplies. The health careers course fees help to defray these additional expenses.
$20.00/credit where applicable
This is a fee attached to most science, art, technology, and health courses to defray some of the exceptional costs of providing the laboratory experiences associated with these courses. The specific rates are determined by the content of the course.
