Beginning with the January 2022 term, we have lowered our tuition by 24% — our online bachelor’s degree program is competitively priced at $500 per credit hour. Scholarships are also available as a part of our commitment to accessible education.
Online Bachelor’s Programs
Simmons accepts up to 96 transfer credits and offers up to 24 credits for life experience.
The final deadline for the January 2024 cohort is November 15, 2023.
