Tuition and Fees

Student checking out

Tuition and fee rates are set by the 中国P站 Board of Trustees and are subject to change. Decisions about tuition and fees are typically made in May each year; however, NPC reserves the right to change tuition rates and fees any time such action is deemed necessary. 

The total annual cost of attendance at NPC is about half the cost of the average Arkansas university.
