The FlexPath program costs $2,700 every 12-weeks and does not have any additional fees or cost requirements such as books. At first glance, this does look expensive (at least it did for me). But when you consider you can complete three to five classes within that period, and look at the cost per credit, FlexPath is economical. If you complete three classes, the cost per credit is $300 per credit. If you finish five courses in that period, the cost per credit comes down to $180 per credit. If you work for a facility that partners with Capella, such as UPMC Pinnacle, the tuition runs $2,430 every 12 weeks reducing the per credit down to $270 per credit if you complete three classes and $162 per credit if you complete five classes.

How many classes can you complete every twelve weeks?

That's up to you as FlexPath is a 100% go-at-your-own-pace program. At the time of this writing, I'm on track to complete five classes within my first term for a cost of $162 per credit. From what I've read, surveyed, and studied, most students complete the FlexPath program in twelve months or less. Currently, I'm on track to complete the program in a seven to nine-month period.
