How to read this page. Every field carries one of three states and they are never collapsed to two: published — the document exists and answers; not-published — the document exists and does not answer; unverified — the document exists and could not be read, or was not reached. Text inside double quotation marks is the college’s own wording, reproduced as published including any typographical error; text outside them is ours. Nothing on this page is added up. Where the college publishes components and no total, the components are listed and the missing total is stated. Nothing here compares this college with any other.

What this accreditation means for licensure in the United States
unverified What the institution states its accreditation means for licensure in the United States. The cost-disclosure dataset this page is built from does not carry this field, and no statement answering it was verified against the institution's own documents in this pass. Licensure requirements are set by each state board; confirm them with the board rather than with any third party, including us. The licensure pages for where these campuses are: Lombard, Illinois — Illinois licensure →; Pinellas Park, Florida — Florida licensure →. Studying in a state is not the same as intending to practice there; read the page for wherever you intend to end up, and confirm with the licensing board there. The licensure hub lists every state documented so far.

Cost figures that differ by campus or living arrangement
published

In a footnote beneath the DC tuition table, not in tuition itself. DC tuition is a single figure covering both sites; the published gap is in the Diagnostic Kit, a one-time first-trimester cost, and is stated by campus code (DC-IL / DC-FL).

Diagnostic Kit cost for DC-IL and ND is $1,304 (estimated) one-time, in the first trimester only. For DC-FL $1,424, MAc and DAc Diagnostic Kit fees $1,304.

This footnote is an <li> in the same <ul> as the numbered program footnotes but carries no <sup> marker of its own, so nothing in the DC table row points at it: the DC row's <sup>1</sup> leads to the program-length footnote instead.

Neither the Diagnostic Kit figures nor the tuition figure is broken out by living arrangement; the Living Allowance is described as a fixed amount per trimester based on an average cost depending on the living situation of the applicant and no figure is published for it.

No other trimester is priced. Footnote 1 publishes the program's shape - The DC program1 is 10-trimesters with 248 total credits at $681 per credit hour. The first trimester of the DC program is based on 23 credit hours. Year labelled in the heading: Tuition for Doctoral & Master's Degrees 2026-2027.

Qualifier attached to the figures. published

The page that carries the figures is itself titled Tuition & Cost Estimates, and its own description reads Plan your education's finances. Get tuition and cost estimates to help you prepare for your academic year. Location: the page title, and the meta name="description" element of the tuition and fees page rather than its rendered text. Both re-read against the bytes the server sent on 2026-09-21.

Required costs beside tuition

Are board or licensure examination fees inside the published cost of attendance? published no

Mechanism recorded: none shown

NUHS publishes a per-trimester cost estimate for the DC program and describes a Living Allowance, and names the cost of attendance as a concept it administers - In no circumstances will non-educational expenses be included in the cost of attendance. No board or NBCE fee appears anywhere in that estimate, in the Living Allowance description, or in the budget section. The published DC estimate is exactly four cells wide: Degree Program / First Trimester Tuition / Estimated Books and Supplies / Average Cost for First Trimester. The 2026-2027 Bulletin describes the NBCE across four pages (pp. 99, 159, 162, 163) and states no fee on any of them; a regex for a currency figure within 200 characters of "NBCE" or National Board returns zero hits across all 317 pages.

Mechanism recorded for that table: none shown

The published DC estimate is exactly four columns wide: "Degree Program

Fields marked unverified were not established in this pass and are not filled in from anywhere else. Rates are set by the college and are subject to change; check the college’s current page before budgeting, and confirm accreditation with the accrediting council and licensure requirements with the relevant state board rather than with any third party, including us.

Nothing on this page is a ranking, a recommendation, or a comparison. No school pays to appear here, to change a field, or to have a peer removed. Every program is described in the same fields, including the ones we hold no content about.
