Tuition
The REACH program gives you the option to pay reduced tuition of $100 per credit hour for the first 24 credit hours (limited to six credit hours per semester). You could save up to $12,000 off the full-time traditional student rate! Payment for courses is due at the time of registration. Most courses are three credit hours, which mean they meet for three hours of classroom instruction each week.
To calculate your cost, multiply the per-credit-hour fee ($100) by the total number of credit hours. For example:
One 3-credit-hour course: $100 x 3 = $300
Two 3-credit-hour courses: $100 x 6 = $600
Also available is the full-tuition option, which allows you to register earlier as a new student. This gives you a better chance of getting into your first choice classes; however, you also pay regular tuition rates. Contact the Bethel admission office at 574.807.7600 for current regular tuition rates.
