Tuition for ADAP is affordable, with cost per credit hour discounted 40 percent off the regular undergraduate tuition rate. Whether you take one class at a time or several classes in one semester, the cost per credit hour is the same.

ADAP is specifically for part-time students. Students who register for more than 11 semester hours are not eligible for the special ADAP tuition rate.

The Osher Reentry Scholarship and the Crankstart Reentry Scholarship may be awarded to students who are generally between the ages of 25-50 and have experienced a cumulative gap in their education of five or more years. The recipients must be pursuing their first baccalaureate degree. Contact the Office of Recruitment and Admission at 937-229-4411 for more information.
