Costs for an online BSN to MSN degree vary widely. The University of Cincinnati charges $442 per credit hour for in-state students and $452 per credit hour for out-of-state students, while Jacksonville University charges a flat rate of $600 per credit hour for all students regardless of whether they are in-state or out-of-state.
Some institutions charge a technology or distance learning fee for online BSN to MSN degree programs to cover additional expenses associated with offering courses online rather than in a traditional format. The University of Cincinnati charges $275 per quarter for technology fees.
Like students in traditional programs, BSN to MSN students at online-focused schools (such as University of Phoenix) must pay application fees and pay for books. Students are also required to pay any expenses associated with required clinical experience.
With most MSN degree programs consisting of 36 credit hours of study, students enrolling in an online BSN to MSN program can expect to pay between $14,000 and $25,000 for the entire program.
