The one program in Illinois that publishes its figures
Every figure was read off the school's own page. 0 publish a session length too, so a weekly rate can be worked out and compared; the other 1 publish a total with no length attached, and that column stays empty rather than dividing by a number nobody published. Prices for the remaining 13 are not confirmed here. The letter template helps you request current tuition and fees.
