General Notes:

Rowan : Of all the sites - Only Rowan is clear about price and online availability. Pricing from all other schools is either hidden or broken into multiple fees.

Cost: I tried to use the higher cost of the per credit to reflect cost. Though beware each school has a host of ‘fees’. All schools have some form of one-time application fees ranging from 50 to 100$. I used in-state and part-time pricing for all selections.
