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 programs, you pay a fixed monthly fee — 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.

Tuition FAQs

How is Nexford able to provide affordable education?

We believe that high-quality education should be accessible to everyone, everywhere. Here's how we keep our programs affordable:

Our Mission: We're a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). This means that while we are a for-profit company, our core mission is to expand access to affordable education.
Online Model: By operating entirely online, we eliminate the need for expensive physical campuses and infrastructure. These savings allow us to offer programs at a fraction of the cost of traditional universities.

In short, we're committed to making education accessible without compromising quality. At Nexford, you get a world-class education at a price that fits your budget.

How much does Nexford tuition cost, and how do I pay?

We understand that education is a major investment. That's why we use a tiered tuition system, ensuring affordability for students around the world. To see which tuition tier your country falls in, please visit our tuition tier page. You can see what your monthly costs would be for each program at the top of our tuition page.

Flat, pay-as-you-go tuition fees
