Tuition & Fees

Tuition

The current per credit hour tuition rate is $462 or $5,544 per term for full time students; total program tuition is $33,264 provided, however, this does not include per credit hour tuition increases that may occur throughout the duration of the program. Tuition for individual courses is billed by the credit. The Student is responsible for tuition and fees pertaining to the program’s required course of study. The Student can expect an increase in the per credit hour rate at least once per year, which will increase the total amount for the program. The Art Institute of York — Pennsylvania reserves the right to adjust tuition and fees and implement a per credit hour tuition increase within the scope of the rules and regulations of the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Licensed Schools whose regulations govern the School’s operation. The changes will take place at the beginning of the term with at least sixty (60) days notice.
