Our estimate · net price only

Four years from now

This is a one-year program. Over four years you would pay $17,598 in net price, and students who complete leave with a median of $8,750 in federal loans.

We do not show what you would earn afterwards, because nobody publishes year-one earnings for a specific program. Guessing it would be the kind of number this site exists to avoid. The Missouri median below is what the job pays across the whole state, for workers at every stage of a career.
