Aspen Group Inc
AGI’s vision is to make college affordable again in America. Because
we believe higher education should be a catalyst to our students’ long-term
economic success, we exert financial prudence by offering affordable tuition
that is one of the greatest values in higher education.
In March 2014, Aspen University unveiled a monthly payment plan available to
all students across every online degree program offered by Aspen University.
The monthly payment plan is designed so that students will make one payment
per month, and that monthly payment is applied towards the total cost of attendance
(tuition and fees, excluding textbooks). The monthly payment plan offers online
associate and bachelor students the opportunity to pay their tuition and fees
at $250/month, online master students $325/month, and online doctoral students
$375/month, interest free, thereby giving students a monthly payment option
versus taking out a federal financial aid loan.
USU began offering monthly payment plans in the summer of 2017. Today, monthly
payment plans are available for the online RN to BSN program ($250/month), online
MBA/M.A.Ed/MSN programs ($325/month), and the online hybrid MSN-family nurse
practitioner (“FNP”) program ($375/month).
Additionally, Aspen University has just begun its first semester (July 10,
2018) for its previously announced pre-licensure Bachelor of Science in Nursing
(BSN) degree program at its initial campus in Phoenix, AZ. Aspen’s innovative
hybrid (online/on-campus) program allows most of the credits to be completed
online (83 of 120 credits or 69%), with pricing offered at Aspen’s current
low tuition rates of $150/credit hour for online general education courses and
$325/credit hour for online core nursing courses. For high school students with
no prior college credits, the total cost of attendance is less than $50,000.
Since 1993, Aspen University has been nationally accredited by the Distance
Education and Accrediting Council (“DEAC”), a national accrediting
agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (the “DOE”).
On February 25, 2015, the DEAC informed Aspen University that it had renewed
its accreditation for five years to January 2019.
Since 2009, USU has been regionally accredited by WASC Senior College and University
Commission. (“WSCUC”).
Both universities are qualified to participate under the Higher Education Act
of 1965, as amended (HEA or the Higher Education Act) and the Federal student
financial assistance programs (Title IV, HEA programs).
