Many of our licensure courses are considered part of a Distance Learning Program (DLP) because courses are held off-site or online. Tuition for distance learning programs is calculated by credit hours. If you're an out-of-state member of the military, you can receive tuition reductions for DLP programs.
You also can take licensure courses as a resident student, with conveniently scheduled classes at our Cullowhee campus or on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Asheville. Graduate resident tuition is based on a full-time or part-time status. Undergraduate resident tuition rates are based on full-time status.
