This is the first price increase since the program began.
RE: New YourPace Fees - dsec2013 - 06-15-2023
True...and the amount of the increase is not bad either.

And quite reasonable at that. Still a bargain for the bachelor program.

I'm glad I got mine done before the increase, but it's fair. And still a great deal.

The Pell Grant max is $7395, so they could increase the price to $1850 and still be ok. That's still 1/2 the price of WGU.

Except WGU is 6 full months whereas UMPI is barely 8 weeks.

When looking at CBE programs, to compare the cost you need to look at the price per week (since every program is a different length, you have to compare apples to apples). WGU is about $150/week, while UMPI is about $187/week.

Beyond that, though you need to look at how long it takes to reach completion.
If you can complete UMPI in 1-2 sessions it is gonna cost less than one term at WGU.
And it isn't unrealistic to finish in 1-2 sessions.

Exactly, it all depends on how the student values their energy, money, time and how spread out or mix/matched they can get...
