Nichols College BS in Business Administration

[ss20ts]

So it's 42 weeks over a full year - there's a week off in between most sessions, with an additional week for a few sessions (2 weeks of for Christmas, a week of for Thanksgiving, 2 weeks off for spring break, etc.).  Makes sense.  I feel like it's a very fair pricing, and gives most people the time off they would want if going year-round.

You end up paying $142/week, and $6,000 for a full year.  If you went a full year at UMPI, you'd end up paying $8,400.  It really depends on how many credits you're bringing in, though, and I have a feeling most people going to UMPI don't need to pay for a full year with all of the ACE credit they can bring in.

They're probably on a similar schedule as UMPI. The YourPace schedule is dictated by the on campus schedule. Here's how UMPI breaks down. 

Fall 1 begins the week of August when on campus beings. This year was Monday August 30. Ends Friday October 22.
Fall 2 begins Monday October 25. Ends Friday December 17th. This is the week of finals on campus. 
Spring 1 begins Tuesday January 18 which is when on campus begins. Ends Friday March 11.
Spring 1 begins Monday March 14. Ends Friday May 6. Commencement is Saturday May 7. There is no Spring Break for YourPace. We end the same week as finals week on campus.
Summer 1 begins Monday May 9 and ends Friday July 1.
Summer 2 begins Tuesday July 5 due to the 4th of July and ends Friday August 26. 


There are no breaks between the semester sessions as we keep the same schedule as on campus students. I'm guessing Nichols will be very similar as they, too, are a campus based college. 

If anyone on here spent a year at UMPI then they did not listen to anyone on here and prepare themselves. It sounds like Nichols you're charged $6K no matter how long it takes you. So even if you don't need the full 6 terms then you're stuck paying for them.
