Verified where verified, hedged where not: the MSN-FNP runs $770 per credit, 48 credits, roughly $36,960 base over a 20-month design, and undergraduate lanes publish in the low-to-mid $500s per credit, figures like $530 for health sciences and $515 for human resources appearing on program pages, with Herzing's own Tuition Wizard estimator producing your binding number. Two honesty items belong beside the rates. The APRN Clinical Placement Pledge is a conditional placement backstop, a commitment of help, never a refund, and reading it as insurance misreads it. And with per-credit billing on fixed 16-week semesters, the only real financial levers are transfer credit at the door and courses never paid for twice.
The lanes, as published
| Lane | Per credit | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| MSN-NP tracks | $770 verified on the FNP page | 48 credits per track; the 20-month design assumes no repeats |
| Undergraduate lanes | low-to-mid $500s, program-specific | $530 and $515 examples published; the Tuition Wizard binds |
| MBA and graduate business | program-specific | The 12-month design makes drift the real cost |
| Doctoral nursing | program-specific | The Practice Project's timeline is the budget's true variable |
Rates change and vary; the estimator plus your enrollment advisor's written quote carry the final digits, and this page updates against the official sources below.
The two leaks, denominated at $770
- The repurchased course: a failed 3-credit NP course repays $2,310 and stretches the 20-month design by a semester; first-attempt clearance through the desk costs a fraction of one
- The unclaimed transfer: C-or-better coursework, training, and military experience all convert, and at these lanes the evaluation is worth real money, per the admissions manual
- The quiet third, drift: per-credit billing never charges for slow, but an NP salary delayed a semester dwarfs any tuition line on this page
Where support fits these lanes
The NP lanes carry the classic arithmetic: one prevented course failure at $2,310-plus outpays a semester of writing support outright, before counting the calendar. The undergraduate lanes run gentler math and the same time-and-GPA logic. Both versions live in public on the comparison page, with the free first sample making the decision an evidence decision, which is the only kind we sell to.
