Cox College reduces general education tuition

Fall and spring tuition at the Springfield-based private college will be $286 per credit hour, down from $324, according to a school news release. Summer general education tuition will be $200 per hour, also down from $324.

The reduction is aimed at encouraging students to begin general education courses in the summer to reduce their course load in the fall, the release said.

Students who take their general education courses at Cox College receive priority consideration when applying for degree programs, according to the release.

Tuition for the nursing program and health science certificate courses will not change.

Summer classes start May 27, and the deadline for summer registration is May 23. The fall semester begins Aug. 18, with a registration deadline of Aug. 15.

Cox College has about 600 students.
