Patten University is Closing

But my point is that JFK is not cheaper than Patten, so anyone who was planning on Patten and specifically the price/tuition setup will have to make new plans and JFK probably wouldn't fit into them. As for the yearly tuition, I guess it wouldn't matter if they made you pay all at once or on a payment plan, because at the end of the day you're still going to pay $8500 for the year.

NAU appears to offer very little in the way of self-paced graduate programs compared to what Patten offered. I only see one in Nursing.

I don't think Patten's prices were a reason for their selling off. Lack of any real marketing after 2013, coupled with a bunch of been-there-done-that programs likely had a lot more to do with it.

They specifically mentioned that pricing had something to do with it.  I think it was simply that they could not make the program work at that price point.

So yes, JFK may not be the option that someone who was thinking of Patten would go to - but it doesn't matter because they don't have that option any longer, nor are there other programs priced the same.  The next best in terms of price is WGU.
