Monthly tuition for a degree starts at $... costing 87% less than the average online U.S. degree.
Predictable Pricing, Unmatched Flexibility
At Nexford, we believe quality education should be accessible and affordable. That's why we offer a unique tuition model tailored to your local economy, ensuring you receive a world-class education at a price that makes sense for you.
With our degree and certificate programs, you pay a fixed monthly fee in your local currency, and the faster you finish, the less you pay overall. There are no hidden costs or surprises.
Study 100% online, at your own pace, and earn a US-accredited, globally recognized credential that prepares you for a successful future.
Your investment in a Nexford education is an investment in yourself.
Your Total Tuition Investment is Predictable
We believe in transparent pricing and financial predictability. That's why we cap your total tuition cost based on the standard program completion time and your local tuition rate:
- Master's degree: 18 months
- Bachelor's degree: 48 months
- Associate degree: 24 months
Focus on Your Studies, Not on Tuition Costs: Even if your studies take longer than the standard completion time, you won't incur additional tuition fees. For example, if you're pursuing a Master's degree and it takes you 24 months to complete, you'll only pay the tuition amount for an 18-month program as long as you remain enrolled and complete within 27 months. This guaranteed maximum cost gives you peace of mind and allows you to focus on your studies and career goals without worrying about unexpected tuition increases.
