FY2627 Fully Online Programs and Certificates

Fall 2026 – Summer 2027

Fully Online Programs and Certificates

Fully online degree, certificate and Non-Degree experience tuition information is provided below. All academic credit for these experiences can be completed away from campus with no requirement to ever be present on campus. Tuition is charged generally based on what primary program you are studying. No additional tuition is charged for enrollment in courses that complete these certificates if you are enrolled in a different primary program of study, except for the dual degree program of MD/MPH. Tuition is charged at the displayed rate per every billing hour of class enrollment per semester. Zero credit-only courses are assessed at the one-hour resident rate.

Students enrolled in these fully online experiences are not eligible for the university provided student health insurance program. Beginning in Fall 2026, all students enrolled in these experiences will be assessed a $4 per billing hour Online Service Fee for services by the Office of the Dean of Students, the library, technology services, and counseling services. No other campus-based fees are charged.

Tuition and fees are direct costs charged by the university. The cost of attendance also includes indirect cost allowances for food, housing, books, supplies and other expenses.  You will not be billed by the university for these costs unless you live in university housing.  Use the Illinois Cost Calculator for an estimated cost of attendance.
