Tuition
and Fees
Tuition at ABI is $325 per credit, or $975 per course. In
order to ensure the highest quality platform for online
education, we use E-college, a professional course management
firm that provides the software used in all courses. The
technology fee of $140 provides unlimited access to all
online materials, electronic tutoring, forums, chatrooms,
and a 24/7 technology support desk accessible via telephone
or email. Thus, the total cost of a typical course, not
including specific class material (such as a textbook),
would be:

contact their professors, and verify that the course
will meet their educational needs and objectives. Full
refunds of all tuition and fees, including technology
fees, are available up to seven days after the course
has started. No refunds will be issued after the
seven day drop period.
