Professional program fees have a broader purpose, in that they support the entire program function, as opposed to individual courses. The graduate level fees assessed are program specific and are 'in addition' to graduate level tuition, as is the pre-professional and undergraduate online fees. The online program fees/tuition are substantially higher than on campus, due to new financial support necessary to develop and continue these high demand online programs.
