Benefits to Choosing CWU at Kent

With access and affordability as a core component of the program, students are able to earn their advanced degree in their community without having to relocate. Tuition is set at only $389 per credit, making this affordable program highly competitive for those wishing to further their knowledge and advance their career. With class scheduling centered around the working professional, we believe convenience and access are essential to student success. The majority of courses are hybrid: three hours a week in the classroom and two hours a week online. There will be a few entirely online courses, but the program cannot be completed entirely online. Face-to-face classes are conveniently held in the early evenings to allow students to maintain employment and/or pursue an internship.
