Good news for online students attending Northcentral University - beginning this July, the cost of undergraduate tuition is decreasing. According to a north press release:

"Effective July 1, 2007 tuition for all 100% online undergraduate courses will be $250 per credit ($750 per three credit course). This new tuition rate is a highly affordable solution for students seeking a quality academic program and a bachelor's degree from a premier online university."

For a full semester load of 12 credits, that's $3,000. Not a bad deal when you consider that, as of last year, 4-year public colleges charged an average of $2,918 a semester ($5,836 a year) and 4-year private colleges charged an average of $11,109 a semester ($22,218 a year).
