ON THE COST OF YOUR EDUCATION
HCU uses a block tuition model. Undergraduate students will be charged a flat rate for tuition that will be the same whether enrolled in 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, or 18 credit hours in the fall and spring semesters. Students who take 15-18 hours per semester save tens of thousands of dollars on the entire cost of their bachelor’s degree programs!
**Based on a typical undergraduate student taking 15-18 hours per semester to graduate with a 120 hour bachelor’s degree in seven semesters as compared to a student taking the full-time minimum course load of 12 hours per semester. This savings estimate excludes room, board, books, supplies, transportation and personal costs.
