Each and every program offered is focused on the particular career the student is interested in. The school insures that the content of each program is relevant to each specific field.
In pursuit of its mission “to provide high-quality and affordable degree-granting distance education,” McKinley has hired the services of high-caliber professionals who are experts in their areas of study to develop innovative, real-world curricula that students in any geographical location can appreciate and obtain.
Tuition cost is kept at a minimum at US$135 per credit hour. Cost includes all course materials, books and others. Greater savings is realized because all the courses in the programs are accessed online, thereby eliminating the cost for travel or room and board.
