Boise State University received approval from the Idaho State Board of Education to offer degree programs that charge a different fee compared to the regular undergraduate or graduate tuition/fee models. During fall, spring, and summer semesters, students in these programs are charged a unique per credit fee for all courses in that program and are not charged tuition or nonresident tuition. Paying these per credit fees entitles students in these programs to some but not all Boise State University services and benefits (see services offered). These programs are not eligible for the Educational Tuition and Fees Waiver Benefit for employees, and spouse or dependent. Some programs (as indicated in the table below) offer an option to enroll in a comparable program that charges standard tuition and fees and is eligible for the waiver benefit. If you need additional information about the program, please contact the appropriate academic department listed.
