MBU works with students to ensure that relevant coursework, as well as work and life experiences, count toward your degree, further minimizing tuition costs. That’s why US News & World Reports ranked MBU the No. 7 best value school in the south, and one of the top in the U.S. for boosting social mobility.

Students should also anticipate additional indirect costs. These expenses are not billed by MBU but are considered when determining financial aid awards.

Summer Sequential Program
The School of Nursing’s Summer Sequential program allows students currently enrolled in a community college associate’s degree program to take MBU courses in the summer. These students are categorized as non-degree seeking and are, therefore, not eligible for financial aid.
